You can put this solution on YOUR website! Villages A, B, C, D are such that B is 4 km due east of A, C is 3 km due south of B and D is 4 km S50°W from C. Calculate the distance and bearing of A from D.
-------------------
AC = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = 5 km
angle ACB = atan(3/5) =~ 30.96 degs
angle BCD = 130 - ACB =~ 99.04 degs
-----------
You have 2 sides and the included angle, use the Cosine Law to find AD
Then use the Law of Sines to find the bearing
