Military distance deviation
A military unit marches in a northerly direction from point A to point B, 15 km away. From place B, it goes 12 km in a northeasterly direction to place C. Determine the direct distance of cities A and C and certainly the deviation -alpha- by which the unit deviated from the north direction.
