Canoeist 1 paddles with a speed of 1.35m/s at an angle of 45 degrees north of east. Canoeist 2 starts on the opposite shore a distance of 1.5km due east of the canoeist 1.
a) In what direction relative to North must canoeist 2 paddle to reach the island?
b) What speed must canoeist 2 have if the two canoes are to arrive at the island at the same time?
Could you please explain the steps to me, I couldn't find the equation for this question in my book?

TLI (too little info). We know the island lies somewhere on c1's path, and that c2 must intercept c1 at that point, but exactly where is it? Or how long does c1's trip take? Without that info I could just assume it's located equidistant from c1 and c2 and their speeds have to be equal.
