250 ft from him? B = 5th digit of ID number

#12 One train, starting at 11 A.M., travels east at Y mi/h while another, C = 6th digit of ID number
starting at noon from the same point, travels south at X mi/h. How fast are
they separating at 3 P.M.?
e.g., ID # = 12-3456-789

of the ladder is moving downward if its foot is 12 ft from the house and A=4
moving away at a rate of A ft/sec. (#15) the slope of the ladder is decreasing.
B=5
Water is being withdrawn from a conical reservoir 3 ft in radius and 10 ft deep
at 4 ft3/min. (#16) How fast is the surface falling when the depth of the water C=6
is 6 ft? (#17) How fast is the radius of this surface diminishing?

#23 In a rectangular prism room, a bug named “Sir Marvin” sits on an end wall A=4
at a point one meter from the floor, midway between the sidewalls. He saw a
lady bug named “Maam Charlene” and started to walk to her at a point on the B=5
other end wall which is one meter from the ceiling midway between sidewalls. C=6
