How fast is the current flowing in the river

A boy is attempting to swim directly across a river; he is able to swim at a speed of 0.421 m/s relative to the water. The river is 2.48 m wide and the boy ends up at 4.77 m downstream from his starting point.

(a) How fast is the current flowing in the river?

(b) What is the speed of the boy relative to a friend standing on the riverbank?
