Suppose that, in Problem, the ship changes its course when it has steamed halfway to the lighthouse. At that point, it steams toward a waiting ship that is 4 miles due east of the lighthouse. What is the bearing for this second leg?

Problem

The direction, or bearing, of an aircraft or sailing vessel is usually expressed in the form N 30°E, which means 30° east of north. If a ship is steaming toward a lighthouse that is 10 miles north and 4 miles east of the ship, what is the ship’s bearing?
