Cleveland is approximately 300 miles east of Chicago. A plane leaves Chicago flying due east at 500 mph. The pilot forgot to check the weather and doesn’t know that the wind is blowing to the south at 100 mph. What is the plane’s velocity relative to the ground?

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? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Do not round before the final answer.
