Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: You are in a canoe afloat a river, and can propel the canoe at 2.0 m/s with respect to the shore. Starting at point A on the left bank, you want to cross the river to point B, which is 200 meters due east on the opposite bank. The river flows south at 2.5 m/s.

Part A: If you begin paddling directly across the river, how far downstream will you reach the opposite shore?

Part B: In which direction must you head the canoe to reach point B?

Any help I can get on this question is greatly appreciated! I'm not too familiar with this question.
