Being an avid hockey fan, I am going to see the Bears vs. Phantoms in Philly on Friday night and again in Hershey on Sunday. On Saturday, I am going to visit my sister who lives 100 miles from Hershey. If the angle created by Hershey, the city where my sister lives, and Philly is 40 degrees, where does my sister live? How far from Philadelphia is she?
