Phlash Phelps is the morning radio personality on SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Sixties on Six Decades channel. Phlash is an expert on U.S. geography and loves traveling around the country to strange, out-ofthe- way locations. The photo shows Curt Gilchrist (standing) and Phlash (seated) visiting a small Arizona settlement called Nothing. (Nothing is so small that it’s not named on current maps.) The sign indicates that Nothing is 50 mi from Wickenburg, AZ, 75 mi from Kingman, AZ, 105 mi from Phoenix, AZ, and 180 mi from Las Vegas, NV. Discuss how the concepts of Example 6 can be used to locate Nothing, AZ, on a map of Arizona and southern Nevada.
