Help with triangulation please?

Can someone please help me out with these two questions?

One of them is: Find the distance (to 1 decimal place) and bearing from C to D (in degrees and minutes).

I just can't get the same answer (801.8 km 222°36′T), and it's so annoying! I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but knowing me it's something completely stupid, and I'll facepalm when I find out what it is :P

The other (with the ships) is: From the diagram below, find the distance between the two ships and the bearing from ship A to ship B.

For this one, the answer is 8.1 km S31°29′E. My answer for the distance part is .1 off (my answer rounds up, not down), and my bearing calculation is S31°37′E...

Thanks :)
