Gen Mutley's Gen Nav Questions

I have a couple of questions but will start with this one -

What is the final position after the following rhumb line tracks and distances have been followed from position 60degrees 00minutes N 030degrees 00minutes W
South for 3600nm
East for 3600nm
North for 3600nm
West for 3600nm

Answer - 60degrees 00minutes N 090degrees 99minutes W

Could someone explain simply how this answer is reached - thanks.


Question 2!!

The rhumb line track between 45degrees 00 minutes N, 010 degrees 00 minutes W and 48degrees 30 minutes N, 015degrees 00minutes W is approximately -

Answer - 315degrees.

A simple explanation would be much appreciated.

Thankyou all
