Question

Oliver Queen is stranded on the remote island of Lian Yu. He knows that here is an enemy camp 15 miles away directly northeast of his current position. He hikes for 6 miles along a path that runs 28 degrees north of due east then changes courses and hikes another 7 miles in the direction 41 degrees east of due north. How far is he from the camp? In what direction should he hike to reach it?
