  1. \hspace{0pt} [In this question \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are horizontal unit vectors due east and due north respectively.]
Boat \(A\) is moving with velocity ( \(3 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { km } \mathrm { h } ^ { - 1 }\) and boat \(B\) is moving with velocity \(( 6 \mathbf { i } - 5 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { km } \mathrm { h } ^ { - 1 }\). Find
  1. the magnitude of the velocity of \(A\) relative to \(B\),
  2. the direction of the velocity of \(A\) relative to \(B\), giving your answer as a bearing.
