Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

Imagine you are standing at the posted coordinates, let this point be PC. Now consider the point GZ. GZ lies on the line with the equation 3x+y=6.

To find the final coordinates, you must:

a) find the shortest possible length between PC and GZ (3 dec places) 

b)Calculate the angle between the shortest line and the positive direction of the vertical axis (2 dec places)

c) Given that 1 unit=100m, find the final coordinates
