A pilot is flying at an air speed of 241 mph in a wind blowing 20.4 mph from the east. In what direction must the pilot head in order to fly due north?(Round to the nearest tenth degree with a direction E or W from north) What is the pilot’s speed relative to the ground?

I guess it has to do with reslutants??

Thanks for any guidance and answers.
