A ship leaves Port A and travels 59 miles due west to point C. It then adjusts its course 37° northward. It travels 90 miles in that direction until it reaches Port B. What angle 0 with respect to due north could the ship have used to travel directly from Port A to Port B? See the figure below. Port B 90 miles 37° 59 miles Port A Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
