Sheldon has a circular new train set with a radius of 2 feet.
In the center of the track is the maintenance shed for the track.
If the engine moves from a position that is 2 feet due east of the shed for a distance of 4 feet and then breaks down, where does Sheldon send the crew to fix the train?
:
Find the circumference of the track:
C =
C =
Find the number of degrees 4 ft is of the circumference
* 360 = 114.6 degrees
Ref true north as 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, the train broke down:
114.6 + 90 = 204.6 degrees from the maint shed or just about SSW of the shed
