Write out the Law of Sines

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

or sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c

Mace Windu has a minecraft mace. Mace Windu uses a wind charge to jump up (N, assume up is North, down is South, left is West, and right is East.). After he jumps up 10 feet, he uses his jedi powers to change his direction N40E and moves another 15 feet. He then uses his powers once more to go back to his starting spot to hit a sith lord with his mace. What is the degree he turned in order to go back to his original spot in order to hit the sith lord?

Around 15.837 degrees.
