Two families of hikers leave a base camp on a mesa traveling in directions of 31 and 42°,
respectively. The first family averages about 0.8
mph while the second family averages 1.1 mph.
a. Sketch the hiking paths of the two families
on a standard coordinate system. Assume the
families continue to hike in the directions
they started and at the indicated rates.
b. At the end of one hour, what are the coordinates of their positions? How far apart are they?
How far apart are the families after 2 hours? After 3 hours?
