Answer:

They should walk on a bearing of 59.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

South = 4.2km

West = 7.1km

Required

The bearing back to the base

The given question is illustrated with the attached image.

To do this, we simply calculate the measure of angle a using:

\tan(a) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

\tan(a) = \frac{7.1}{4,2}

\tan(a) = 1.6905

Take arctan of both sides

a = \tan^{-1}(1.6905)

a = 59.4^o
