edit: woops I messed up the title. It should have been relative to the shore.
A boat’s speed in still water is 1.95 . The boat is to travel directly across a river whose current has speed 1.10 . Determine the speed of the boat with respect to the shore
I'm not sure.
I thought it would be a sqauared plus b squared is equal to c squared. a being the speed of the boat in still water, b being the current and c being the speed with respect to the shore. This however does not give the right answer
