    Suppose that there are two cell phone twoers within range of a cell phone. The two towers are located at 6 km apart along a straight highway, running east to west and the cell phone is north of the highway. The signal is 5 km from the first tower and sqrt(31) km from the second tower. Determine the position of the cell phone north and east of the first tower adn how far it is from the highway.

    A man is watching a boat speeding away from the top of a tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of 60^(@) with the man’s eye when at a distance of 200 m from the tower. After 10 seconds, the angle of depression becomes 45^(@) . What is the approximate speed of the boat (in km / hr), assuming that it is sailing in still water? (sqrt3= 1.732)
