Homework Statement


I'm currently doing an airplane project in pre-calc, it is physics related so I put it here.
The problem is I have a plane, it's going N74W, wind is going N20E, the resultant vector is 324mph, and N67W, how do I compensate?


Homework Equations


I remember going over it once in class but I really don't want to screw it up since this project (which is a lot bigger than just this problem) is supposed to be a big part of the grade.


The Attempt at a Solution


I think I'm just supposed to make a vector go NxW, but I'm not sure how to get it.
