Two cell phone towers were used to determine the location of an individual calling for assistance. The signal from one tower is represented by r = + sin(θ), and the signal from the other tower by r = 2sin(θ). The points of intersection of the curves are the possible locations of the individual. Which coordinate is one of the possible locations?
