   Snowfall and smoking chimney using CC Snow and After Effects expressions. Probably will have to wait to Monday

3. Mystery Distance PDF help.

   a.  What is given?  What is known?  
   
   b.  What is the goal?  What is the unknown?
   
   c.  How can you use a. to get to b., perhaps involving 
                                 the Pythagorean Theorem?
   
       Write down what you know.  Draw pictures.  
       In this case, draw the BEFORE and the AFTER, i.e. 
          before the 2 second wait and after the 2 second wait.
   
       i. What do you know BEFORE the 2 second wait?   Draw a picture.
      ii. What do you know AFTER the 2 second wait?    Draw another 
                                                       picture, or 
                                                       elaborate on
                                                       your first picture.
      
       There is a way to get what you need from these two!
