While flying a jet, there is a crosswind of 30 MPH (miles per hour) coming directly from the Northwest that affects its flight path. After 4 hours, the jet finds that it is in a location that is 2600 miles from the starting point at a direction of 30 degrees North of East. Use this information to complete the problems that follow. As mentioned above, the wind blew the jet off course. Fill in the blank in the sentence below (Round any decimal answers to AT LEAST 3 decimal places): If the wind had not blown the jet off course, the jet would have flown in a direction_______degrees North of East.
