    Answer: 130 degree

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that

    The distance from

    Dallas to Charleston = 980 miles Charleston to Indianapolis = 595 miles,

    Indianapolis to Dallas is 764 mies.

    If Dallas and Charleston lie on the same latitude, find the bearing from Charleston to Indianapolis.

    Let us use cosine formula to find the angle at Charleston

    764^2 = 980^2+595^2-2 (980) (595) cosØ

    583696 = 1314425-1166200cosØ

    -1166200cosØ = - 730729

    CosØ = 0.6266

    Ø = 51.2

    Let us also calculate the angle at Indianapolis by using sine rule

    980/sinI = 764/sin 51.2

    Reciprocal both sides

    SinI/980 = sin 51.2/764

    Sin I = 980 * sin52.1/764

    Sin I = 0.9996

    I = 88.5 degree

    The bearing = 270 - (51.2 + 88.5)

    = 270 - 140

    = 130 degree.
