Answer:

103.65 mph

Explanation:

A bearing of 250 deg is 200 deg on the coordinate plane.

Find the x- and y-components of the speed vectors. Add them. Then find the magnitude of the resultant.

Hx = 110 cos 200° = -103.366

Hy = 110 sin 200° = -37.622

Ax = 0

Ay = 30

Hx + Ax = -103.366

Hy + Ay = -37.622 + 30 = -7.622

sqrt(-103.366^2 + -7.622^2) = 103.65

Answer: 103.65 mph
