Question

A surveyor is measuring distances in a level yard near a road. A fence post is due north from the surveyor and is 18.3 m away from him. A street sign is to the right of the fence post from the surveyor's view, and is a distance of 24.0 m from him. The surveyor measures the angle between the fence post and the street sign to be 22.4°.

What is the distance (in m) between the fence post and the street sign? (My answer is incorrect - 39.9m)

What is the angle (in degrees) between the surveyor and the street sign, as measured from the position of the fence post? Hint: Draw a top-down view of the situation. (My answer is incorrect - 16.9 degrees)

What is the angle (in degrees) between the surveyor and the fence post, as measured from the position of the street sign? (My answer is incorrect - 140.7 degrees)

I don't understand why my answers are incorrect or what I am doing wrong here.
