Oasis B is 6.0 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 22 km in a direction 15.0° south of east and then walks 33 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction (relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°]) should it walk?
