Radio stations often have more than one broadcasting tower because federal guidelines do not usually permit a radio station to broadcast its signal in all directions with equal power. Since radio waves can travel over long distances, it is important to control their directional patterns so that radio stations do not interfere with one another. Suppose that a radio station has two broadcasting towers located along a north-south line, as shown in the figure. If the radio station is broadcasting at a wavelength
and the distance between the two radio towers is equal to
, then the intensity I of the signal in the direction
is given by
where I o is the maximum intensity.
Approximate I in terms of I o for
.

Points on the terminal sides of angles play an important part in the design of arms for robots. Suppose a robot has a straight arm 18 inches long that can rotate about the origin in a coordinate plane. If the robot's hand is located at (18, 0) and then rotates through an angle of 60 o , what is the new location of the hand?
