Question
Please show all work. And circle your answer. Thank you!!

Transcribed Image Text:A sailboarder is zipping northeast across a river with a velocity of 8.3 m/sec
relative to the water. The water is moving north at a velocity of 2.9 m/sec. If
the angle between the relative velocity of the sailboard and the river current is
28.5 degrees, what is the resultant or true velocity of the sailboarder (relative to
the surrounding land, if you like)?
Draw a diagram to help figure this out. Include units in your answer (m/sec).
