Boat trigonometry 2007-04-04
From Kimi:
Hi, I have been working on the attached math problem for my college trig class for over a week.

I was able to calculate the speed of the boat to 3.51 mph, but cannot figure out the measure of angle beta. Once I can figure that out, I can do the rest of the problem. Thanks, Kimi
