Homework posted in wrong forum, so no template
A bird is flying through the air with an air speed of 12.6 m/s heading 27.7° west of north. It is a windy day with the wind blowing at 8.95 m/s heading 12.5° south of west. What is the velocity of the bird as seen by a person on the ground?
Note: I keep doing this question but my answer (the resulting vector) don't come out correct. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like regular vector addition to me. Maybe if you post your attempt we could help you spot what went wrong
