This is probably quite simple for you guys but here it comes...

A plane is headed east with an air speed of 250m/s. The wind blows southeast at 40m/s. Find the velocity of the plane relative to the earth.

Ive probably been sittin to long now cause I just did a similiar problem and solved it, need your help!

Thanks in advance!
