Margot is walking in a straight line from a point 40 feet due east of a statue in a park toward a point 34 feet due north of the statue. She walks at a constant speed of 4 feet per second.

(a) Write parametric equations for Margot's position t seconds after she starts walking. (Round your coefficients to four decimal places as needed.)

(b) Write an expression for the distance from Margot's position to the statue at time t. (Round your coefficients to four decimal places as needed.)
