Could you give your solution in detail please just for completeness? I used the same (sine rule and Napier's analogies). I should have looked at that Wikipedia page too it would have saved me from a long "now where did I see a formula for that" search in text books. The other Wikipedia article here is not as clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry#Napier's_analogies but does reference Todhunter's book.
