What is the resultant speed relative to the shore

Reference no: EM13677260

A boat capable of making 6.0 km/h in still water is utilized to cross a river flowing at speed of 4.0 km/h. The boat is directed (from the perpendicular to the shore) in such a way that its resulting motion is straight across the river.

At what angle (in ^o) should the boat be directed?

What is the resultant speed relative to the shore?
