Orthogonal Trajectories The figure below shows the topographic map carried by a group of hikers. The hikers are in a wooded area on top of the hill shown on the map and they decide to follow a path of steepest descent (orthogonal trajectories to the contours on the map). Draw their routes if they start from point A and if they start from point B. If their goal is to reach the road along the top of the map, which starting point should they use?
