Planning a railroad route Shown in the figure is a proposed railroad route through three towns located at points $A, B,$ and $C .$ At $B,$ the track will turn toward $C$ at an angle $\theta$ (a) Show that the total distance $d$ from $A$ to $C$ is given by $$ (PICTURE CANNOT COPY) d=20 \tan \frac{1}{2} \theta+40 $$ (b) Because of mountains between $A$ and $C$, the turning point $B$ must be at least 20 miles from $A$. Is there a route that avoids the mountains and measures exactly 50 miles?

Amtrak Acela Express is a high-speed train along the northeast corridor between Washington, D.C. and Boston. since its debut, it cuts the travel time from 4 hr 10 min to 3 hr 20 min. On average, if the Acela Express is 30 mph faster than the old train, find the speed of the Acela Express. (Hint: 4 hr 10 $\left.\min =4 \frac{1}{6} \text { hr. }\right)$
