    Refer to the diagram shown below.

    The resultant velocity of the steamboat, V, is the vector sum of Vx and Vy.

    The magnitude of V is

    V = √ (6² + 8²) = 10 km/h

    The angle which V makes above the x axis is

    θ = tan⁻¹ (Vy/Vx) = tan⁻¹ (8/6) = 53.13°

    Answer:

    The steamboat moves at 10 km/h, at an angle of 53° above the x axis.
