i think an estimate for the answer would be around 90 degrees
3x : 2 = 15
3x = 15 * 2
3x = 30
x = 30 : 3
x = 10
--------------------------------
3(10) :2 = 15
12/16=3/4, 3/4*8=6. Therefore Caitlin still has 6 km to go, So d=6
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by
, which is called the "conjugate" of
:

Why do we pick this number? Recall the difference of squares factorization:

Now replace
and
. Then

So in your fraction, you end up with

Finally, just expand the product.

Answer:
This is an ellipse.
Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the angle values in intervals of right angles (90°), the resulting set of values for z are:

(again)
If you look at the plot, you will observe how these values represent points in the xy plain. All of them belong to either the x or the y axis.
The resulting figure for the whole set of values of
is in fact an ellipse.
