Select the correct answer. A boat travels north across a river at a velocity of 22meters/second with respect to the water. The river's velocity is 2.2meters/second to the east. What is the resultant velocity of the boat, as measured from the land? A. 24.2meters/second northeast B 35.5meters/second north c 22.1meters/second northeast D 28.7meters/secondeast

The correct answer is A. .To find the resultant velocity of the boat, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem. The boat's velocity with respect to the water is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with one side being the river's velocity and the other side being the boat's velocity relative to the land.Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the resultant velocity: Therefore, the resultant velocity of the boat, as measured from the land, is approximately northeast.
