31.8 degrees north of east (not sure what format the question wants)

To get this answer you draw a triangle with the line between the ship and the harbor, a line going horizontally, from the ship and ending below the harbor, and a line going vertically down from the harbor to the end of the horizontal line. The horizontal line has a length of 50 and the vertical line has a length of 31. Using inverse tangent, you can find the angle between the ship and the harbor, which is

arctan(opposite/adjacent) opposite being the vertical line, and adjacent being the horizontal line

arctan(31/50) (or tan^-1(31/50))
which gets you 31.8 degrees

puteri [66]

Answer:

Britain won the war, and all the French possessions in North America went into their hands, including Canada. On the other side although Britain once more was seen as one of the leaders as a great force, financial problems led to the decline of power that resulted in the American revolution.
