    6.0 km/hr

    Explanation:

    The wind's velocity relative to the ground is perpendicular to the bird's velocity relative to the air.

    When you use Pythagorean theorem to add the two velocity vectors, we find that the bird's velocity relative to the ground is

    6.0 kilometers/hour southeast.

    r=6.05km/hr

    z=59.1 degree to the horizontal

    can be solved using pythagoras theorem

    r^2=o^2+a^2

    r^2=5.2^2+3.1^2

    r^2=36.65

    r=6.1km/hr is te birds velocity relative to the ground

    tanz=5.2/3.1

    z=tan^-1 (5,2/3.1)

    z=59.1 degree to the horizontal
