oasis B is 25km due east of oasis A.starting from oasis A a camel walks 24km in a direction 15 degree south of east and then walks 8 km due north.how far is the camel then from oasis B?
show me with diagram
 
Using Pythagoras' theorem:
Let the point where the camel stopped be C.
24^2 - 8^2 = AC^2
AC = 22.63
25 - 22.63 = 2.37
The camel is 2.37km from oasis B.

Or else tan 15 = 8 / AC
etc
