flight information is as follows: Tower 1 - 300 km 15° EastofNorth @ 2:50 AM; Tower 2 - 250 km North @ 2:30 AM; and Tower 3 - 283 km (~200√2 km) 45° Northeast @ 2:00 AM.

Three towers (labelled as points T1, T2, and T3) detected an invading fighter jet moving in an arc (path). The fighter jet’s flight information is as follows: Tower 1 - 300 km 15° EastofNorth @ 2:50 AM; Tower 2 - 250 km North @ 2:30 AM; and Tower 3 - 283 km (~200√2 km) 45° Northeast @ 2:00 AM. Using geometric constructions only:
1. Draw the arc (path) of travel of the fighter jet. Label the center as point J.
2. Mark the location of the fighter jet after 900 km of travel from 2:30 AM. Label this as point K.
Five anti-airs are to be mobilized to intercept the fighter jet at point K. These are to be located 300 km from point K and each adjacent anti-airs must be equally spaced. Using geometric constructions only:
3. Mark the locations of the 5 anti-airs. Label the seas A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5.
4. Using the information from towers 1 and 3 as reference, what is the average speed of the fighterjet?_____________
Note: You may use a ruler for item 4. Scale:100km=1cm.
