Cone details:
- height: h cm
- radius: r cm
Sphere details:
- radius: 10 cm
================
From the endpoints (EO, UO) of the circle to the center of the circle (O), the radius is will be always the same.
<u>Using Pythagoras Theorem</u>
(a)
TO² + TU² = OU²
(h-10)² + r² = 10² [insert values]
r² = 10² - (h-10)² [change sides]
r² = 100 - (h² -20h + 100) [expand]
r² = 100 - h² + 20h -100 [simplify]
r² = 20h - h² [shown]
r = √20h - h² ["r" in terms of "h"]
(b)
volume of cone = 1/3 * π * r² * h
===========================
To find maximum/minimum, we have to find first derivative.
(c)
<u>First derivative</u>
<u>apply chain rule</u>
<u>Equate the first derivative to zero, that is V'(x) = 0</u>
<u />
<u>maximum volume:</u> <u>when h = 40/3</u>
<u>minimum volume:</u> <u>when h = 0</u>
The correct answer is the flagpole is <span>33 feet high</span>.
Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.
We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°
Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD
Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
= 40 </span>· tan (35)
= 28 feet
In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
= 28 + 5
= 33
Hence, the flagpole is 33 feet high.
