DIRECTION AND DISTANCE QUESTION

a)find the distance of c to d
b)and the direction from c to d

the question is very strange because i think the angles are not clear enough (the 40 degrees should be 50 outside?)
and i looked at the answers and
a) the distance is 801.8 km <<<WTF really?
b) 222degree36min T bearing

if someone can do this for me thank you very much

Well what I would do is

Find a way to get the distance from C to the intersection and from D to the intersection.

To find that use trigonometry and start with the top line that connects the two graphs.
