Please look at the vectors in the zig zag shape. Red = Boat; Blue = Wind

The ship can sail 6 squares/month. Each square represents 125 miles.

The red represents the distance a boat travels each month. The blue represents the wind impacting the direction of the boat each month. The grey lines in pencil are the resultant vectors.

1) Add up the resultant vectors to find the distance travelled (in miles) to get to Cuba.

2) Calculate the speed of the ship in both miles per month and miles per hour (rate = distance/time). Assume 31 days/month.
