3. Two skaters, Allie and Billie, are at points A and B, respectively, on a flat, frozen
lake. The distance between A and B is 100 meters. Allie leaves A and skates at a
speed of 8 meters per second on a straight line that makes a 60◦ angle with AB.

and follows the straight path that produces the earliest possible meeting of the
two skaters, given their speeds. How many meters does Allie skate before meeting
Billie?
