ADCaircraft leaves an airport from a runway whose bearing is N48 . After flying for 1/4 mile, the pilot requests permission to turn 90 degrees and head toward the southeast. The permission is granted. After the airplane goos 1 mile in this direction, what bearing should the control tower use to locate the aircraft ?
