Since bob is traveling south, and the current is traveling west, they are perpendicular to each other. This means that they are $90^{\circ}$ to each other. The next step is to use the Pythagorean Theorem in order to solve for what speed Bob is actually going.

Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem is $h=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$ , where is the hypotenuse, and , are the legs of the triangle, and A,B have a $90^{\circ}$ angle between them.

For our calculations, let A=30 , and B=60 .

$h=\sqrt{30^2+60^2}=\sqrt{900+3600}=\sqrt{4500}\approx67.1\:\uptext{mph}$
