You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hilary and Dale leave camp and go for a long hike. After going 7 km due east, they
turn and go another 8 km in the direction 60 degrees north of east. They plan to return
along a straight path. How far from camp are they at this point? Use an angle to describe
the direction that Hilary and Dale should follow to reach their camp.
================
You have 2 sides and the included angle.
Use the Cosine Law to find the 3rd side - that's the distance from camp.

Then use the Law of Sines to find the other angles.
