PLEASE HELP! A river current has a velocity of 5km/h relative to the shore, and a boat moves in the same direction as the current at 5km/h relative to the river. How can the velocity of the bot relative to the shore b calculated?

add the river's velocity to the boat's velocity

5+ 5 = 10 km/h

Hope this helps!
