Answer

$ S 80^{\circ} W $

Work Step by Step

The trigonometric ratios are as follows: $\sin \theta= \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ ; $\cos \theta= \dfrac{Adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ and $\tan \theta= \dfrac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ The angle is from the vertical axis $ S $ to the line joining the point $ C $. So, our required answer is: $ S 80^{\circ} W $
