(a)
\Nadias rowing can be represented by the vector
and the current can be represented by the vector
.
Add the vectors representing and
to find the resultant vector,
.
.
The speed at which Nadia is traveling is the magnitude of .
.
Therefore, Nadia traveling at about miles per hour.
(b)
\Find by constructing a right triangle with the given vectors and using the tangent ratio.
.
Therefore, Nadia traveling at an angle of about with respect to the shore.
Nadia traveling at about miles per hour.
Nadia traveling at an angle of about with respect to the shore.
