A coastal patrol boat capable of a maximum speed of 25 km/h sights suspected boat 8 km away due 180°. The suspected boat is travelling at 30 km/h on a course of 320°. In which direction must the patrol boat steer in order to intercept the suspect as soon as possible? How long will it take to intercept the suspected boat?
