A plane takes off from an airport and flies to town A, located d₁ = 210 km from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. The plane then flies to town B, located d₂ = 240 km at 30.0° west of north from town A. Use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town B to the airport. (Enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.)
