A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels 24 miles in the direction N43° E. The captain then turns the boat 90° and travels another 17 miles in the direction S47° E. At that time, how far is the boat from the harbor entrance, and what is the bearing of the boat from the harbor entrance? Distance from the harbor: miles Bearing from the harbor: N °E
