A ship is sailing north from a point A towards point D. Point C is 175 km north of A.
Point D is 60 km north of C. There is an island at E. The bearing of E from A is 055◦ . The
bearing of E from C is 134◦ . This is shown on the following diagram.

(d) [4 Marks] When the ship reaches D it changes direction and travels directly to the
island at 50 km per hour. At the same time as the ship changes direction, a boat
starts travelling to the island from a point B. This point B lies on AC, between A
and C, and is the closest point to the island. The ship and the boat arrive at the
island at the same time. Find the speed of the boat.
