Multiple Choice
Two radio stations are located 180 miles apart along a coast. If a ship records a time difference of 0.0006 second and continues on the hyperbolic path corresponding to that difference, where will it reach shore? Round to the nearest mile. (Assume the speed of the radio signal is 186,000 miles per second.)
A) The ship reaches shore between the two stations, 68 miles from one station and 292 miles from the other.
B) The ship reaches shore between the two stations, 34 miles from one station and 146 miles from the other.
C) The ship reaches shore between the two stations, 124 miles from one station and 236 miles from the other.
