Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram illustrating the scenario is shown in the attached photo.
We would determine angle ACB by applying the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side
Taking angle ACB as the reference angle,
Tan C = 40/30 = 1.33
Angle ACB = tan^-1(1.33) = 53.1°
The bearing is calculated with respect to the northern direction. Therefore, the bearing of B from C is
180 - 53.1 = 126.9°

Answer:
28 million college students.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are . Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have
. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:
The left side of the equation evaluates as . Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.
