Question
A man is in a boat 2 miles from the nearest point on the coast. He is to go to point Q, located 3 miles down the
inland (see figure).
3- X
(a) The man rows at 1 mile per hour and walks at 2 miles per hour. Toward what point on the coast she
to reach point Q in the least time? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
