Yes, the location is in the feeding region.
Given information:
The bats have an estimated feeding range of 50 miles.
Formula Used:
The Distance Formula
The distance d between
Standard equation of a
The standard form of the equation of a circle with center at
Explanation:
Let the position of the bridge is at Origin
So, the distance between the tower and the person is:
Now, it is given that the bats have an estimated feeding range of 50 miles. So, the region of bats feeding is the circular area around the bridge with 50 miles as radius.
Now, as
