Dustin is standing at the edge of a vertical cliff, 40 meters high, which overlooks a clear lake. He spots a fluffy white cloud

above the lake, which from his point of view has an angle of elevation of $30^\circ.$ He also sees the reflection of the cloud in the lake, which has an angle of depression of $60^\circ.$ Find the height of the cloud above the lake, in meters.

Answer:

53.33 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the height of the cliff,

( where, A is top and B is bottom ),

Also, C and D represents the shadow of the cloud and cloud in the sky respectively,

Suppose E is a point in the segment CD,

Such that,

AB = DE = 40 meters,

According to the question,

m\angle CAE = 30^{\circ}

m\angle EAD = 60^{\circ}

Since,

\tan =\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}

\implies \tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{DE}{AE}

\sqrt{3}=\frac{40}{AE}

\implies AE = \frac{40}{\sqrt{3}}

Now,

\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{CE}{AE}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}CE}{40}

\implies CE = \frac{40}{3}

Hence,

The height of the cloud above the lake = CE + ED

=\frac{40}{3}+40=13.33+40 = 53.33\text{ meters}

Evaluate the line integral, where c is the given curve. C xeyz ds, c is the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (2, 3, 4)
Arada [10]

The value of line integral is, 73038 if the c is the given curve. C xeyz ds, c is the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (2, 3, 4)

<h3>What is integration?</h3>

It is defined as the mathematical calculation by which we can sum up all the smaller parts into a unit.

The parametric equations for the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (2, 3, 4)

x(t) = (1-t)0 + t×2 = 2t  

y(t) = (1-t)0 + t×3 = 3t

z(t) = (1-t)0 + t×4 = 4t

Finding its derivative;

x'(t) = 2

y'(t) = 3

z'(t) = 4

The line integral is given by:

\rm \int\limits_C {xe^{yz}} \, ds = \int\limits^1_0 {2te^{12t^2}} \, \sqrt{2^2+3^2+4^2} dt

 

\rm ds = \sqrt{2^2+3^2+4^2} dt

After solving the integration over the limit 0 to 1, we will get;

\rm \int\limits_C {xe^{yz}} \, ds = \dfrac{\sqrt{29}}{12}  (e^{12}-1)   or

= 73037.99 ≈ 73038

Thus, the value of line integral is, 73038 if the c is the given curve. C xeyz ds, c is the line segment from (0, 0, 0) to (2, 3, 4)

Find the sum.
Strike441 [17]

You are gonna use the distributive property.

4(2.5g - 4) + 3(1.2g - 2)

So you are going to multiply 4 with everything inside the first set of parenthesis and your gonna multiply 3 with everything insides the second set of parenthesis.

4 x 2.5g - 4 x 4 + 3 x 1.2g - 3 x 2

10g - 16 + 3.6g - 6

You wanna combine like terms:

10 - 3.6g + 16 - 6

6.4g + 10

You answer is 6.4g + 10.

Hope this Helps!!
