speed limit is 100 km/H. He asks you if you know how fast you were driving. You suddenly
realize that your speedometer's "100" measures miles per hour, not kilometers per hour. How
fast were you going?

point?
b. In what direction would the runner be if he runs straight from the starting point to the
final point?
