An air ambulance is travelling from Barrie to Toronto. Toronto is located 90 km [S5°E] of Barrie. If the wind is blowing from the South with a velocity of 62 km/h, and the plane’s air speed is 375 km/h, what direction must the pilot fly to make it to Toronto?
How do I draw the diagram, that is one reason I can't solve the question...thanks!

The velocity vector with respect to the air, added to the wind speed vector, must be in the direction of Toronto. The 90 km distance does not matter to the direction result, although it affects the travel time.
I had answered that same question for you a while back in
