Let's solve this bearing problem step-by-step.

Part (i): Calculate the distance between city B and city C to two decimal places.

Step 1: Determine the angle ∠CAB\angle CAB.
The bearing of B from A is 150∘150^\circ.
The bearing of A from C is 015∘015^\circ. To find the bearing of C from A, we add 180∘180^\circ to the bearing of A from C because 015∘<180∘015^\circ < 180^\circ.
Bearing of C from A =015∘+180∘=195∘= 015^\circ + 180^\circ = 195^\circ.
The angle ∠CAB\angle CAB is the difference between the bearing of C from A and the bearing of
