Graphically 7004

A boatman walks along the ship's deck at a constant speed of 5 km/h in a direction that forms an angle of 60° with the direction of the ship's speed. The boat moves with respect to the lake's calm surface at a constant speed of 10 km/h. Determine graphically the magnitude of the speed with which the boatman moves relative to the shores of the lake.

Correct answer:

v =  13.22 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=5 km/h v2=10 km/h A=60   v=13.22=13.22 m/s
