Two girls with two-way radios are at the intersection of two country roads that meet at a 105° angle (see the figure). One begins walking in a northerly direction along one road at a rate of 5 mi/hr at the same time the other walks east along the other road at the same rate. If each radio has a range of 10 miles, how long will the girls maintain contact?
