Mia is designing a t-shirt cannon. She's designed it so that every time she fires a t-shirt, it travels at 36mph. She wants to fire it to send a t-shirt at her friend Nicole. However, there is a strong wind that is blowing 70° in standard position at 20mph. In order to hit Nicole, Mia needs to fire the cannon so that the t-shirt flies directly east. What is the overall speed of the t-shirt as it flies towards Nicole?
