I've drawn a triangle to represent the journey (see attached.
The angle from Home to Victim to Hospital is:
a =
Using the cos rule, we can solve for the length x:
Using the cos rule, we can solve for angle b:
So the bearing the helicopter has to travel is:
270 - 76.1 = <u>193.9 degrees (1 dp)</u>
And the distance it travels is <u>31.2 km (1 dp)</u>
