Tina and Michael decide to have a glass of

their favorite refreshment. They each run in

a straight line along the indicated paths at a

speed of 10 ft/sec. Parametrize the motion of

Tina and Michael individually. Find when and

where Tina and Michael are closest to one another;

also compute this minimum distance.
