Your younger brother has challenged you to a swimming race

Your younger brother has challenged you to a swimming race to see who can swim to the opposite side of the pool first. You know that your brother swims more slowly than you, so to make things more even you choose to swim along a path at a 40 degree angle from the path that would go directly across the pool. The pool is 60 feet wide. Draw a diagram and label all values mentioned to illustrate the problem.
