A ship leaves Port A and travels 61 miles due west to point C. It then adjusts its course 34° northward. It travels 85 miles in that direction until it reaches Port B. What angle θ with respect to due north could the ship have used to travel directly from Port A to Port B? See the figure below. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

At noon, ship A is 50 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is traveling east at a speed of 10 knots, while ship B is traveling north at a speed of 8 knots. The distance between the ships is changing at a rate of 6 knots.
