Part 1 of 2
A trench must be dug from point B, straight to point A
(which is at the southern point of a circular fish pond), and
then counterclockwise along the edge of the pond to point
M, which is 93° of rotation away from point A. The
center point of the pond is 117 yards East and 88 yards
North of point B, and the pond has a radius of 40 yards.
