Solve the all parts of given problem:

Problem: A river flows due south with a speed of 1.6m/s. A man steers a motorboat across the river; his velocity relative to the water is 4.6m/s due east. The river is 670m wide.

Part A: What is the magnitude of his velocity relative to the earth?

Part B: What is the direction of his velocity relative to the earth?

Part C: How much time is required to cross the river?

Part D: How far south of his starting point will he reach the opposite bank?

I need help to find the magnitude of his velocity relative to the earth and express your answer using two significant figures.
