First, square the dimensions of the two known sides
20*20 = 400
70*70 = 4900
They total 5300, take the square root of that to get 72.8 nm between the two points.
Now, divide 20/72.8 and use a calculator to find the sin -1 of the resulting dividend, which is rounded to 16 degrees. Add 16 degrees to 180 degrees to find the necessary course change to reach the 180/70.
Easy, peasy

Galaxy, I got exhausted just reading that....
