r = distance she rowed
w = distance she walked
t = total time to reach village

t = r/2 + w/5

r^2 = 2^2 + (6 - w)^2
r = (4 + 36 - 12w + w^2)^(1/2)
r = (w^2 - 12w + 40)^(1/2)

t = (w^2 - 12w + 40)^(1/2)/2 + w/5
t' = (1/2)(1/2)(w^2 - 12w + 40)^(-1/2)(2w - 12) + 1/5 = 0

(1/2)(1/2)(w^2 - 12w + 40)^(-1/2)(2w - 12) = -1/5
(1/2)(w - 6) = -1/5(w^2 - 12w + 40)^(1/2)
5(w - 6) = -2(w^2 - 12w + 40)^(1/2)
25(w^2 - 12w + 36) = 4(w^2 - 12w + 40)
(25 - 4)w^2 + (-25*12 + 4*12)w + 25*36 - 4*40 = 0
21w^2 - 252w + 740 = 0
w = 6.87, 5.13 mi
discard 6.87 ( > 6)

r = (w^2 - 12w + 40)^(1/2)
r = 2.18 mi

She should land her boat 5.13 miles away from village

What is the origin of the saying as the crow flies?

The term "As The Crow Flies" came from British coastal vessels that customarily carried a cage of crows. Crows detest large expanses of water and head, as straight as a crow flies, towards the nearest land if released at sea - very useful if you were unsure of the nearest land when sailing in foggy waters before the days of radar. The lookout perch on sailing vessels thus became known as the crow's nest
