PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY BEFORE I EXPLODE.

Without the wind, a plane would fly due East at a rate of 150 mph. The wind is blowing Southeast at a rate of 50 mph. The wind is blowing at a 45 degree angle from due East. How far off the due East path does the wind blow the plane.


Please work this out with me, I am desperate! I have been stuck on this problem for 2 days now and I need help quickly!

The answer would be four over seven and I am not really understanding the question.
