3) A river is 40. meters wide and its current flows southward at 4.5 meters per second. A boat is launched with a velocity of 3.0 meters per second eastward from the west bank of the river. Determine the magnitude of the boat's resultant velocity as it crosses the river. [You must draw the diagram first by using the Head - Tail method, but it need not be to scale].
