• a helicopter hovering at 10 m above the ground is shining a spotlight at a person 30 m away1 . if the person is 2 m tall how l

As shown in the figure

Height of helicopter above the ground=30 m

Distance from the base to the point where the person is standing=30 m

height of the person=2 m

Now the person cast the shadow of length x m.

Triangle ABC and triangle EDC are similar.

∵ ∠B= ∠D=90°

∠C is common.

So by AA similarity ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar.

As we know when triangles are similar their sides are proportional.

AB/AD =BC/DC

Let DC=x meter

⇒\frac{10}{x}=\frac{30+x}{x}

⇒5=\frac{30+x}{x}[/tex]

⇒5x=30+x

⇒4x = 30

⇒ x=30/4

⇒ x=7.5 meter

So length of shadow=7.5 meter

2. volume of a sphere of radius r is v (r) =\frac{4}{3}π r^{3}

\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} r}V=4/3π×3r^2

       =4πr^2


surface area of a sphere of radius r is 4πr^2

b)  Ratio of derivative of volume of sphere to surface area of sphere=\frac{4\pi r^2}{4\pi r^2}

             =1  [ incomplete question but you have written few words ]
