A boat leaves the entrance of a harbor and travels 19 miles on a bearing of N 14 E. How many miles north and how many miles east from the harbor has the boat traveled?
------------------
N14E --> 76 degs wrt the x-axis
Distance N = 19*sin(76)
Distance E = 19*cos(76)
================
Boats and aircraft don't use "N14E"
That's a heading of 014 degrees.
