    Answer: 2pm = 95.6 knots

    3pm = 98.6 knots

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use the Law of Cosines:

    b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos B

    At 2pm, the boat traveled (35 * 3) knots North and (35 * 1) knots NE:

    b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos B

    b² = 35² + 105² - 2 (35) (105) ·cos 65°

    b² = 1225 + 11025 - 7350 (0.4226)

    b² = 9143

    b = 95.6

    At 3pm, the boat traveled (35 * 3) knots North and (35 * 2) knots NE:

    b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos B

    b² = 70² + 105² - 2 (70) (105) ·cos 65°

    b² = 4900 + 11025 - 14700 (0.4226)

    b² = 9712.5

    b = 98.6
