The bearing of town C from town A at the given position of the three towns is determined as 93.3⁰.

Distance of C from  A

The distance of town C from town A is calculated by applying Cosine rule. The distance of town C from town A is represented by small letter "b" as shown in the image.

b² = a² + c² - 2ac[cos B]

b² = (8)² + (7)² - 2(8 x 7 x cos77)

b² = 87.81

b = √87.81

b = 9.37 km

Angle A

The value of angle A is determined by applying Sine rule as shown below;

sin A/a = sin B/b

sin A = (a x sin B)/b

sin A = (8 x sin 77)/9.37

sin A = 0.832

A = sin ⁻¹ (0.832)

A = 56.3⁰

Bearing of town C from town A

The bearing of town C from town A is determined from the sum of 37⁰ and angle A.

θ = A + 37⁰

θ = 56.3⁰ + 37⁰

θ = 93.3⁰

Thus, the bearing of town C from town A at the given position of the three towns is determined as 93.3⁰.
