Hiking Navigation and Distance Calculations

Adam hiked from camp at point A for 45 minutes at 4.2 km/h on a bearing of 035° until he stopped at point B. He then hiked from point B for 4.6 km on a bearing of 114° until he reached point C. The distance from camp to point C is calculated. The angle ABC is found to be 101°. Jacob wants to hike directly from camp to point C, so the bearing he must take is calculated. Jacob's hiking time to point C is also calculated based on his speed of 3.9 km/h.
