Two people are walking on two different straight roads that meet at a right angle. Student A approaches that intersection at 2 m/sec and Student B is walking away from the intersection at 1 m/sec. At what rate is the angle, at B, changing when student A is 10 meters from the intersection and student B is 20 meters from the intersection. Transfer your answer into radians per second
