The whiteboard image contains the following information:

1. **Distances and Bearings**:
   - AB: Distance = 42 m, Bearing = N 45° E
   - BC: Distance = 55 m, Bearing = S 60° E
   - CA: (Distance and Bearing not provided)

2. **Instructions or Tasks**:
   - Calculate:
     1. Distance (probably refers to calculating the distance CA)
     2. Bearing (determine the bearing of line CA)
     3. Area (likely refers to the area of the triangle formed by points A, B, and C)

3. **Additional Notations**:
   - \( \Sigma \text{Lat} = 0 \), \( \Sigma \text{Dep} = 0 \) (This suggests that the sum of latitudes (north-south components) and the sum of departures (east-west components) are zero, which can be used to check for a closed traverse.)

To proceed, we can calculate:
- The coordinates or components (latitude and departure) of each leg (AB and BC).
- The distance and bearing of the third side (CA) using trigonometry or coordinate geometry.
- The area of the triangle ABC using the formula for the area given the sides and angles.

Would you like me to go through these steps in detail? 

### Follow-up Questions:
1. How do you calculate the latitude and departure for a given distance and bearing?
2. How can you find the distance of side CA using coordinate geometry?
3. What method can be used to find the bearing of line CA?
4. How do you compute the area of a triangle given its sides and angles?
5. What is the significance of the condition \( \Sigma \text{Lat} = 0 \) and \( \Sigma \text{Dep} = 0 \)?

### Tip:
When working with bearings, always ensure that you convert the directions properly into their respective components, particularly when using trigonometry to find distances or angles.
