Arthur and Bertha stand at a point \(O\) on an inclined plane. The steepest line in the plane through \(O\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Arthur walks uphill at a steady pace in a straight line which makes an angle \(\alpha\) with the steepest line. Bertha walks uphill at the same speed in a straight line which makes an angle \(\beta\) with the steepest line (and is on the same side of the steepest line as Arthur). Show that, when Arthur has walked a distance \(d\), the distance between Arthur and Bertha is \(2d \vert\sin\frac12(\alpha-\beta)\vert\). Show also that, if \(\alpha\ne\beta\), the line joining Arthur and Bertha makes an angle \(\phi\) with the vertical, where \[ \cos\phi = \sin\theta \sin \frac12(\alpha+\beta). \]
