Sheldon has a circular new train set with a radius of 2 feet.
\n" ); document.write( " In the center of the track is the maintenance shed for the track.
\n" ); document.write( " 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?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the circumference of the track:
\n" ); document.write( "C = $\"2%2Api%2A2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "C = $\"4%2Api\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number of degrees 4 ft is of the circumference
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F%284%2Api%29\"$ * 360 = 114.6 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Ref true north as 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, the train broke down:
\n" ); document.write( "114.6 + 90 = 204.6 degrees from the maint shed or just about SSW of the shed
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
