An arctic village maintains a circular crosscountry ski trai

An arctic village maintains a circular cross-country ski trail that has a radius of 3.7 kilometers. A skier started skiing from the position (-3.345, 1.581). measured in kilometers, and skied counter-clockwise for 4.07 kilometers, where he paused for a brief rest. (Consider the circle to be centered at the origin). Determine the ordered pair (in both. kilometers and radii) on the coordinate axes that identifies the location where the skier rested. (Start by drawing a diagram to represent this situation.) Points possible: 10 Unlimited attempts. Score on last attempt: 0.

Solution

Circumference = 2pi*R = 2pi*3.7 = 23.25 km

Distance travelled = 4.07 km

If the skier skis counter-clockwise 4.07 km, they have traversed 0.175 of the circle, or 63 degrees

Thus their position would be (3.7*sin63, 3.7*cos63) km

In radii, position would be (sin63, cos63) radii
