The attached image shows a Scalene Triangle. The measurements were taken from point A. Given the known degree and directions of various numbered points throughout the surrounding area of Point A, what is the distance between Point B and C? What is the degree?  This is not a graded assignment; measurements were not taken between two homes.

Follow-up Question

Thank you. If I am understanding this, without the degree from A to B; A to C, or C to B it would've been virtually impossible to conduct the calculations. 

 

For example, the distance from 2 to 3 can be performed since we have a distance and degree to both 2 and 3 from A. In this example, how would I find the degree angle between two and three in order to use the lawof cosines?
