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.)

(c) Find the times when Margot is 36 feet from the statue. (Round your answers to two decimal places)

I take my dogs on an afternoon walk. We leave my house, walking due East for 4 km. We then walk 3.5 km at an angle of 35 degrees West of North. Finally, we ealk 5.4 km at an angle of 15 degrees West of South. If I were to walk along a straight path that wuld take us back to my house, how far and in what direction should I walk?
