Problem
1: How Far Back Do I Need to Stand?
Suppose you are standing in front of a picture and you want to get the best
possible view, so you walk back and forth until you get the best view. Simulate
this by moving point D to the left and to the right. See how the angle
changes its value. Try to find the optimal angle. Is it closer
or farther away than you thought it would be?
