What is hucks speed relative to the river bank

Reference no: EM13561800

Huck Finn walks at a speed of 0.70 across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft's motion relative to the shore). The raft is traveling down the Mississippi River at a speed of 1.50 relative to the river bank.

a) What is Huck's speed relative to the river bank?
b) What is Huck's speed direction to the river bank?
