Draw a diagram of the forces.
tanθ = 76/220
An airplane is heading due east with an airspeed of 220km/h when it encounters a wind from the south at 76km/h. What is the direction of the resultant velocity of the airplane
The answer is E19.06°N but I don't know how

what is arctan(76/220), this is the angle N of E (remember a wind from the S blows N)
Thanks! I was overthinking the question
