Question 9 • Precalculus

A pair of fire towers uses technology to search for forest fires. Let the center of the forest be the origin on a coordinate grid. The first fire tower is located 5 km east and 8 km south of the center, and the second fire tower is located 7 km west and 4 km north of the center. The technology at the first tower can locate fires within a radius of 10 km and the second tower within a radius of 9 km. The system of inequalities represents this scenario.
