Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are not the location of the cache

It has been awhile since I have hide a cache so I better get going. The cache lies on a circle of radius 1.00000 mile. The equation of a circle with a radius of 1 mile is

X^2 +Y^2 = 1

This is the equation of a circle centered about the origin (0,0) of the Cartesian coordinates plot. For this problem REF01 is the center of the circle.

The line: Y = 0.75X + 0.3

 Bisects the circle and goes through the location on the circle where the cache lies. See the attached problem description for the problem. Units are in stature miles. I am not a Mathematician but I play one on TV.

This site and also this site will be helpful in solving this problem.
