An observer stands at a point P, one unit away from a track. Two runners start at the point S in the figure and run along the track. One runner runs three times as fast as the other. Find the maximum value of the observer's angle of sight theta between the runners.

Am i suppose to maximize the tan theta? The picture should look like two right triangles, one inside the other. Point P is at the top. Point P is away one unit from where the runners started. Find the angle between the first and second runners.

Code:
