4. A woman at a point A on the shore of a circular lake with radius 4 mi wants to arrive at the point C diametrically opposite on the other side of the lake in the shortest possible time. She can walk at the rate of 6 mi/h and row a boat at 3 mi/h. How should she proceed? (Find {image} ). Round the result, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth. {image}

6. Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 4 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points B and D are 10 km apart. In general, if it takes 1.6 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? Your answer will be the distance between B and C (correct to one decimal place). {image}
