An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 72.0 km/hkm/h is blowing toward the south. If the airspeed of the plane (its speed in still air) is 305.0 km/hkm/h, in which direction should the pilot head? Express your answer in degrees. What is the speed of the plane over the ground? Express your answer in kilometers per hour.
