Question 1161445
<br>
Let the center of the circle be the origin; have Macmac and Jay start at (600,0).<br>
Jay walks 200m towards the center in 10 minutes, ending at (400,0).<br>
Macmac walks 200m along the circumference (assume counterclockwise, as is customary in trigonometry).<br>
The circumference of the circle is 2pi times the radius, 1200pi; the fraction of the circumference Macmac travels is {{{200/(1200pi) = 1/(6pi)}}}.<br>
The angle through which Macmac travels is {{{(1/(6pi))*360 = 60/pi}}} degrees.<br>
Macmac's position after the 10 minutes is ({{{600cos(60/pi)}}},{{{600sin(60/pi)}}}).<br>
Use a calculator and the distance formula to find the distance between them after the 10 minutes.<br>
(My calculations showed a distance of 257.72m)<br>
