Lightning Strikes Suppose that two people standing 1 mile apart both see a flash of lightning. After a period of time the first person, standing at point , hears the thunder. Two seconds later the second person, standing at point , hears the thunder. If the person at point B is due west of the person at point , and if the lightning strike is known to occur due north of the person standing at point , where did the lightning strike occur?
