    you use wrong angle at N, it's not 36
    it is 46°

    500/sin(C)=720/(sin(46) => C=29.97°

    third angle in triangle is 180°-(29.97°+46°)=104.03°

    the bearing is
    90°+46°+104.03°=240.03°
    or 60.03° W

    How did you get 46°? Why did you add 90° + 46° + 104.03°? What indicated this addition of angles in the photo?

    you see at point Naples inner angle +44°=90° => inner angle is 90°-44°=46°

    90° + 46° + 104.03° indicates total bearing
    the bearing is
    90°+46°+104.03°=240.03°
    or S 60.03° W
