The bearing of F from C is 222°, measured clockwise from north

Journey CF runs SW from C. North points upwards at C. The north-south reference line passes through C and perpendicular foot V; FV is perpendicular to that line. Right angle at V. CF = 22.9 km. FV is the unknown distance d. Not to scale.22.9 kmd kmCFVN
