Two families are going sailing. Family A leaves the marina and sails 2.3 miles due north, then sails 3 miles due west. Family B
leaves the marina and sails 2.3 miles due south, then sails 3 miles in a direction 1° north of due east. Which family is farther from the marina? Explain your reasoning.
Family B has part of their north-south direction negated by going 1 degree north of east, because they are going south and then going north. Family A does not do this, and as a result, with all else equal, they go further away.
Hey, So if you are working 8 hrs a day and $15 an hour multiply those together, that would give you $120 a day, and multiplying that by 5 days a week that would make $600 a week.
