AB is an altitude of the triangle
Wendy is skiing along a circular ski trail that has a radius of 2.8 km. She starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in the CCW direction. Wendy stops skiing when she is 0.883 km to the right and 2.657 km above the center of the ski trail. Imagine an angle with its vertex at the center of the circular ski trail that subtends Wendy's path. TIP: Draw a picture! Include in your picture of Wendy's path: the trail, the coordinates where Wendy starts and stops, the angle that Wendy traverses, and the distance s that Wendy travels. a. How many radians is the angle, 0, swept out since Wendy started skiing? __radians Preview Hint: You might use one of the following functions: cos -1, sin , or tan b. How many kilometers, s, has Wendy skied since she started skiing? ___km  Hint: Recall that = (or s = r. theta)if an angle has a measure of radians and subtends an arc s units long along a circle with a radius r units long.
