Question

a rabbit starts running from point a in a straight line in the direction 52° from the north at 4.2 ft/sec. at the same time a fox starts running in a straight line from a position 23ft to the west of the rabbit at 7.9 ft/sec. the fox chooses its path so it will catch the rabbit at point c. in how many seconds will the fox catch the rabbit?
is that 52° east or west from north?
Now you need to know either point c or the direction chosen by the fox.
the 52° is east. the fox is running to catch the rabbit at point c which is east.
