**Orienteering Task Description**

Orienteering is a sport in which competitors use a map and a compass to find their way through unfamiliar terrain. Your task is to travel along a triangular course. The first leg is due west, and 6,000 meters long. The other two legs are north of the first leg. The second leg is 4,000 m long, and the third leg is 5,000 meters long. Your compass bearing (the direction in which you are moving) during the second leg is \( \Box \) degrees. 

During the third leg of your course, your bearing is \( \Box \) degrees.

Enter your answers with at least 2 digits beyond the decimal point.

**Hint:** Carefully draw a picture. Use the Law of Cosines.
