Answer:

156.37°

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this above question, using Cosine rule which is given as:

Cos C = a² + b² - c²/2ab

Let the Angle be represented as: x

Cos x = 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200

x = arc cos [ 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200]

x = 23.63°

The angle, in degrees, that he must turn through to head straight for Island B is given as:

180° - 23.63°

= 156.37°
