Bearings Application Problem

A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels in the direction N 29 ∘ E. After 19 miles, the captain realizes he's made a navigation error, and changes direction to S 59 ∘ E. After traveling 11 miles at this bearing, how far is the boat from the harbor entrance, and what is the bearing of the boat from the harbor entrance?
