Aria can swim at FE m/s (e.g., if E=6 and F=0 EF is 60m/s, if E=0 and F=4 so you switch EF to FE so FE=40m/s) in still
water. Aria wishes to swim across a river 300m wide to a point directly opposite from where he is standing. The
river flows westward at D m/s ceiga
chotating and he is standing
on the South bank of the river.
