Fireworks Display Suppose that two people standing 2 miles apart both see the burst from a fireworks display. After a period of time the first person, standing at point A , hears the burst. One second later the second person, standing at point B , hears the burst. If the person at point B is due west of the person at point A , and if the display is known to occur due north of the person at point A , where did the fireworks display occur?
