What bearing should a ship sail on in order to return to port after sailing from port on a bearing of 050 degrees for 150 km and then on a bearing of 140 degrees for 200 km?

We will assume that the curvature of the Earth is not taken into account for this. Approx heading = 283 degrees & Distance = 250 km from port.
Draw a rough sketch with questions like these and in fact the course taken by the ship works out as a right angle triangle.
