What is the speed of the rivers current

Reference no: EM13650691

A boat, whose speed in still water is 1.70 m/s, must cross a 260m wide river and arrive at a point 110m upstream form where it starts. to do so, the pilot must head the boat at a 45 degree upstream angle. What is the speed of the river's current?
