How far downstream from the initial position

Question-

A boat crosses a river of width 171 m in which the current has a uniform speed of 1.51 m/s. The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicular to the river and a throttle setting to give a constant speed of 2.59 m/s relative to the water.
How far downstream from the initial position is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore? Answer in units of m
