A civil engineer is mapping the overhead clearance of his family’s property on a coordinate grid. The ground is represented by t
1 answer:
The distance from the base of the tree to the tallest would be 14.21 cm
<h3>We have the following data points in this question</h3>X1 = 8 feet
y1 = 16 feet
x2 = 11 feet
y2 = 9 feet
To proceed with the solution we have to
We have to solve for the shorter tree
<em>= </em>9² + 11²
= √81 +121
= 14.21
<h3>For the taller tree we would have</h3>√8² + 16²
= √64 +256
= 17.89

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at (8, 2) is given by the derivative at that point. By the chain rule,
Differentiate the given parametric equations with respect to :
Then
We have and
when
, so the slope at the given point is
.
The normal line to the same point is perpendicular to the tangent line, so its slope is +4. Then using the point-slope formula for a line, the normal line has equation
Alternatively, we can eliminate the parameter and express explicitly in terms of
:
Then the slope of the tangent line is
At , the slope is again
, so the normal has slope +4, and so on.
Circumference of circular track, C = 0.5 miles = 0.5×5280 feet = 2640 feet.
We know, circumference in circle is given by :
( Here, r is radius i.e distance of centre from track )
Putting values in above equation :
2 × 3.14 × r = 2640
6.28 × r = 2640
r = 420.38 feet
Therefore, distance between centre and track is 420.38 feet .
Hence, this is the required solution.
