The diagram representing this scenario is shown below
A right angle triangle is formed. R represents the resultant velocity. To find R, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the diagram,
hypotenuse = R
one leg = 1.1
other leg = 0.55
Thus,
R^2 = 1.1^2 + 0.55^2 = 1.5125
Taking square root of both sides,
R = square root of 1.5125
R = 1.23
The resultant velocity is 1.23 m/s
