Solving Relative Velocity River Crossing Problem
Im trying to follow the notes from my professsor that i have for a similar problem. I set up a triangle and got opposite over adjacent that's why i used tan-1. 1.92km/h , after i divided out the width I multiplied .1444 by 60 because its km/hour and got 8.7 km/h. That answer is still wrong. I...- megkirch
