Question
Adam sets out for a hike from his camp at point A. He hikes at an average speed of 4.2 km/h for 45 minutes, on a bearing of 035° from the camp, until he stops for a break at point B.
Adam leaves point B on a bearing of 114° and continues to hike for a distance of 4.6 km until he reaches point C.
Adam’s friend Jacob wants to hike directly from the camp to meet Adam at point C .
Find the distance from point A to point B.
Show that is 101°.
Find the distance from the camp to point C.
Find .
Find the bearing that Jacob must take to point C.
Jacob hikes at an average speed of 3.9 km/h.
Find, to the nearest minute, the time it takes for Jacob to reach point C.
