You have a boat with a motor that propels it at vboat = 4.5 m/s relative to the water. You point it directly across the river and find that when you reach the other side, you have traveled a total distance of 27 m (indicated by the dotted line in the diagram) and wound up 14 m downstream. What is the speed of the current?
