Suppose Austin is running along a circular track that has a radius of 47 meters. Austin starts at the 3-o'clock position of the track and travels in the CCW direction. Let 0 represent the measure of the angle with a vertex at the circle's center that subtends the path Austin has traveled. a. Write a formula that expresses Austin's horizontal distance to the right of the center of the track in meters, h, in terms of 0. h Preview b. Write a formula that expresses Austin's vertical distance above the center of the track in meters, v, in terms of 0. V = Preview
