Heights and distances / angle of elevation problem
Captain Temel will take the tourists on his boat from island A to island B in the morning, from island B to island C at noon, and from island C to island A in the evening.
The points where the boat will dock at the islands are marked as the vertices of a triangle ABC where side AB equals side BC, as shown in the figure.
Since Captain Temel knows he will travel in the dark on the return journey, as he travels from A to B and from B to C, he notes on a piece of paper the angle between the compass needle pointing north and the path he follows.
Accordingly, how should Captain Temel set his compass to go from C to A?
