first just wondering is the 6.0 m/s the speed of the boat relative to the shore.
If so then use tan to find the speed of the current since you have the angle and you have the adjacent all you have to do is find the opposite. for the 2nd part you can do it using cos or you can you can use the pythagorean theorem. when i solved it i got the current to be 7.96m/s and the speed relative to the water 9.96m/s. if u have to do it with significant digits then it will be 8.0 m/s and 10 m/s. if you need any help or have any questions just contact me
