Salvador flies a drone in a circular path around an object that is 230 feet south and 240 feet east of his position. The drone's path takes it over a point that is 190 feet south and 160 feet west of him. Find an equation for the drone's path. (Assume Salvador is located at the origin, with the horizontal axis running east-west and the vertical axis running north-south) The drone's path follows the equation
