I used the pythagorean theorem to figure the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.BvU said:Hello ayushi,

6.2 meters per second yes. But the angle is suspect.Ayushi said:
It is stashed in the title -- 850 meters.RPinPA said:
The river is 8.5 x 10^2 m wide, which means the distance the ferry boat has to travel across the river is 850 meters.
The time it takes for the ferry boat to cross the river depends on various factors such as the speed of the boat, the direction and strength of the current, and any external factors like wind or weather. Without these variables, it is impossible to determine the exact time it takes for the ferry boat to cross the river.
The width of the river can change over time due to natural factors such as erosion or man-made factors such as construction or dredging. However, the given measurement of 8.5 x 10^2 m is a constant value in this scenario.
The depth of the river can vary at different points, so it is impossible to determine the exact depth without more information. However, the depth of the river at the point where the ferry boat is crossing is not relevant to the given information.
The width of the river is a crucial measurement for engineers and navigators to determine the best route for the ferry boat to take and to ensure the boat has enough space to maneuver safely. It is also important for calculating the time and distance of the journey and for any necessary construction or maintenance of the ferry or the river itself.
