69 - 71 Shortest and most economical path of motorboat
Problem 69
A man on an island 12 miles south of a straight beach wishes to reach a point on shore 20 miles east. If a motorboat, making 20 miles per hour, can be hired at the rate of $2.00 per hour for the time it is actually used, and the cost of land transportation is $0.06 per mile, how much must he pay for the trip?
