A drone flies in a circular path around an object that is 90m east and 110m north of the drone operator. The drone is always 200m from the object. Does the drone cross a north-south line through the operator's position?
Added by Christine L.
Step 1
We need to determine if a drone, flying in a circular path 200m away from an object located 90m east and 110m north of the drone operator, crosses a north-south line through the operator's position. Show more…

Dakota flies a drone in a circular path around an object that is 150 yards south and 210 yards east of his position. The drone's path takes it over a point that is 210 yards north and 160 yards east of him. Find an equation for the drone's path. (Assume Dakota is located at the origin, with the horizontal axis running east-west and the vertical axis running north-south) The drone's path follows the equation

Michael flies a drone in a circular path around an object that is 180 yards south and 230 yards west of his position. The drone's path takes it over a point that is 250 yards south and 190 yards east of him. Find an equation for the drone's path. (Assume Michael is located at the origin, with the horizontal axis running east-west and the vertical axis running north-south) The drone's path follows the equation

An airplane starting from airport A flies $900 \mathrm{~km}$ east then $950 \mathrm{~km}$ at $30.0^{\circ}$ west of north, and then $150 \mathrm{~km}$ north to arrive finally at airport B. (a) The next day, another plane flies directly from airport A to airport $\mathrm{B}$ in $\mathrm{a}$ straight line. In what direction should the pilot travel in this direct flight? (b) How far will the pilot travel in this direct flight? Assume there is no wind during these flights.
