Coby and Christina are sailing a boat and get caught in rough weather. They begin sailing at a speed of 7 miles per hour at an angle of 45 degrees. At that moment, the current and the wind both begin to push the sailboat. The current has a speed of 5.6 miles per hour at an angle of 240 degrees. The wind as a vector could be written as -35i+65j in miles per hour. What direction do they end up sailing in? Write your answer in degrees and round to 2 decimal places. Leave your answer in exact form until the final step. Direction for all angles in this problem should be measured from the positive x-axis in a counterclockwise direction.
