Describe this path.

 

Show transcribed image text Because of cooling air currents over open water, it takes a seabird twice as much energy to fly one meter over the ocean than to fly one meter over the warmer sand beach. Suppose a mother seabird has caught a fish when she was 50 meters from shore and 130 meters from her nest (located on the beach). The mother bird takes the path that minimizes the total energy used to return to the nest and feed her young. Describe this path.
