Instruments in airplane A indicate that with respect to the air the plane is headed 30° north of the east with an airspeed of 300 mi/h. At the same time radar on ship B indicates that the relative velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 280 mi/h in the direction 33˚north of east. Knowing that the ship is steaming due south at 12 mi/h, determine (a) the velocity of the airplane, (b) the wind speed and direction.

Help me with this ENGINEERING DYNAMIC question
Instruments in airplane A indicate that with respect to the air the
plane is headed 30° north of the east with an airspeed of 300
mi/h. At the same time radar on ship B indicates that the relative
velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 280 mi/h in the
direction 33 north of east. Knowing that the ship is steaming due
south at 12 mi/h, determine (a) the velocity of the airplane, (b)
the wind speed and direction.
