# A pitcher can throw a ball at a velocity of \( 125 \) \( \text{km/h} \) straight ahead. If he throws the ball straight when a cross-wind is blowing at \( 28 \) \( \text{km/h} \) to the left, what will the magnitude of the ball’s resultant velocity be? By what angle will the direction of the ball be off?
