Soldiers headed boat with respect to straight across

Reference no: EM13562296

George Washington stands on the shore of the Delaware River. He sees the river flowing past him at a speed of 1.50 m/s, and a boat with soldiers moving straight across at right angle to the shore. The speed of the boat with respect to the water is 3.00 m/s. What is the angle at which the soldiers headed the boat with respect to the straight across direction?
