Problem

A boat heading at an angle of 37∘37^{\circ} upstream relative to the bank maintains a speed of 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} relative to the water. The river flows at 6 m/s6\,\text{m/s}. The river width is 320 m320\,\text{m}. Calculate the actual distance the boat travels relative to the ground (displacement magnitude). (Use cos⁡37∘=0.8\cos 37^{\circ} = 0.8, sin⁡37∘=0.6\sin 37^{\circ} = 0.6)
