If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities: 
Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes 4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.
b ) 0.91 · 3000 = 2730 m
He will be 2730 m downstream.

Answer:
Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd
Explanation:
The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is
d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd
The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:
Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was
d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
