Search and Rescue...
Your personal aircraft suffered a power failure, forcing you to emergency-land in the desert.
“Where am I?”
You recognize two mountain peaks with known map (x,y) coordinates:
Peak1: (-100, 0) Peak2: (100, 0)
From your vantage, the angle subtended by the two peaks is 49.000 degrees, with left-to-right order [ Peak2 …… Peak1 ].
You only have enough cell phone battery remaining to phone in this one clue:
What is the curve that should be flown by a search and rescue chopper that will pass over your location?
Provide the numerics to precisely define your curve.
