Mike is standing due north of a tree. He walks due west 100m and realizes that the angle between his start position, this current position and the tree is 82 deg. Assuming his start position is the vertex S , his current position is C and the tree is T. The angle SCT is 82 deg. Am I right?

Yes, you are right. Why are you in doubt?
