Question 1003796: An arctic village maintains a circular cross-country ski trail that has a radius of 4.5 kilometers. A skier started skiing from the position (4.5,0) and skied counter-clockwise for 1.8 kilometers before stopping for a rest.
Determine the ordered pair (measured in radius lengths) on the coordinate axes that identifies the location where the skier rested).
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The km is some fraction of the
entire circumference which is:
km
----------------
That fraction is:

----------------
The entire circle is radians

-----------------
The skier has gone radians from ( 4.5,0 )
The x-coordinate is:

The y-coorinate is:

The skier rested at ( 4.145, 1.752 )
Hope I got it!
( I believe the skier ends up in the 1st quadrant
because is greater than
and that is a 90 degree angle from start )
