Question 1145919: An aircraft flies from A to C on a bearing of 27degree. It then changes course and flies on a bearing of 66degree. If AC = 220km, calculate AB

you don't say how far it travels on the bearing of 66 degrees, presumably from point C point B.
my understanding is that the plane flies from point A to point C and then to point B.
no distance from point C to point B means point B can be anywhere along the bearing 66 degrees trajectory.
that makes the determination of the length of AB not possible as faras i can tell.
