Hi everyone I have been struggling with this question and I was wondering if you could help please.

A boat heads on a bearing of 023 from port A to Port B, which is 120nm away. It then heads on a bearing of 106 to port C, which is 130 nm from port A.?

1 Find the size of angle ACB?

2. THe Bearing of C form A?

3. Are there two possible answers for 2 or not?

Have you drawn the path the ship takes on some paper? That should make the answers clear.
