Interesting question.

I always thought the Relative Wind Angle was a number between 0 & 180, not 0 & 90.

Is there mention of variation in the question?
Is the wind given as True, not Magnetic? Met reports/forecasts are True, ATS reports are Magnetic.
With a variation of 10E, that would make the RWA 85.
