    A boat leaves an Island and travels 40 miles at a bearing of N 53° E. Next, the boat makes a 90 degrees clockwise turn and travels 20 miles on a bearing of S 35° E. How far is the boat from the Island? What is the bearing of the boat from the Island?

    I was in the Navy and don't recall learning how to solve bearing problems.
