The bearing of a school library (L) from the sickbay (B) is 310°
From the commandants office (C) 317m due east of sickbay, the bearing of the school library is 288°.
How far is the library from the sickbay?
---------------------
Angle B = 140 degs
Angle C = 18 degs
Angle L = 22 degs
BC = 317 meters
-----
Use the Law of Sines:
LB/sin(18) = 317/sin(22)
LB = 317*sin(18)/sin(22) = ~ 261.5 meters
