Problem Statement
A sparrow, flying horizontally in a straight line, is feet directly below an eagle and feet directly above a hawk. Both hawk and eagle fly directly toward the sparrow, reaching it simultaneously. The hawk flies twice as fast as the sparrow. How far does each bird fly? At what rate does the eagle fly?
