You are riding on a jet ski directed at an angle upstream on a river flowing with a speed of 2.8 m/s. If your velocity relative to the ground is 8.0 m/s at an angle of 30.5° upstream, what is the speed of the jet ski relative to the water?

I thought I should just use Pythagoras's theorem, but that didn't get me the right answer... Am I leaving something out/.
