Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is not the best, but I'll try my best here

Since BC is parallel to BE (BC is part of BE) and BA is part of BD, two sides are parallel, making two angles congruent and the triangles therefore similar.

Since BA correlates to BD (they are parallel), we can use the knowledge that BA is 7 and BD is 42 to find the scaling factor to be 42/7 =6 from ABC to DBE. Since BC correlates to BE, BC = 10, and the scaling factor is 6, BC*6=BE= 60 = height

How do you find the parameterization of a helix?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=r\cos t\\ \\ y=r\sin t\\ \\z=at\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).

The parametrization for the helix is

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=r\cos t\\ \\ y=r\sin t\\ \\z=at\end{array}\right.,$
