Im not even sure how to visualize the scenario ..
https://prnt.sc/qqivnj
sin 53 = 400 ft / (swim distance) sin 53 = .7986
Solve for swim distance
then time = distance/ rate (rate is given as 150 ft/min)
There is a lot of incidental (unneeded) information here.
Here is the pic that goes with EP's working.
is 3 mins correct?
it is not exactly 3 minutes
