Miss Addy decides to travel from Ghana to UK on ship. The Captain decides to use one of the old ships which depends more on the wind speed and direction for its movement. The ship has a speed of 90km/h and heads due South from North across a river that runs West and East at a speed of 21km/h. Find the actual speed and direction in the angle of the ship. [NB. Illustrate the above problem on a diagram]
