1. Adan and Darlene have entered the Pythagorean Lake Endurance Trial. Part of the

competition requires them to travel from Geoville, which is on the south side of the lake,
to Triple City, which is across the lake and due north of Geoville. Adan decides to ride
his scooter from Geoville to Angle Point, which is 20 miles due east of Geoville, and then
continue on to Triple City. There is a direct route that runs in a straight line for 25 miles
from Angle Point to Triple City. Adan's scooter can go no faster than 35 mph. Darlene
thinks she can beat Adan to Triple City by taking a fishing boat (average speed 12 mph)
directly from Geoville to Triple City. Who will get to Triple City first? Explain your
solution.
