  2. A boat is heading due east at $ 25$ km/hr (relative to the water). The current is moving toward the southwest at $ 10$ km/hr.
    1. How fast is the boat going, relative to the ground?
    2. By what angle does the current push the boat off its due east course?
  3. Find the angle between the planes $ 5(x-1) + 3 (y+2) + 2 z = 0$ and $ x + 3 (y-1) + 2(z+4) = 0$ .
