Because the older campers are so excited about the zip line, the camp director would like you to design a smaller one for the younger campers. The construction company will build starting and ending platforms for this zip line. You need to determine the shortest and longest possible distances between the two platforms. The cable will attach to the starting platform 12 feet above the ground. The cable will attach to the ending platform at the minimum height needed to meet the harness constraint.

Rudgene Claire, the President of Women's Association of their barangay,proposed a project to put up a rectangular vegetable garden whose lot perimeter is 40 meters. The said proposal aims to augment the financial needs of each member through sharing and giving free fresh vegetables and fruits during pandemic outbreak. She was soliciting suggestions from her fellow members for possible dimensions of the lot.If you are a member of the club, what will you suggest to Rudgene Claire ifyou want a maximuon lot area?

On a flat surface of land, geolo-gists drilled a borehole straight down and hit a mineral deposit at 1000 ft. They drilled a second borehole 100 ft to the north of the first and hit the mineral deposit at 950 ft. A third borehole 100 ft east of the first borehole struck the mineral deposit at 1025 ft. The geologists have reasons to believe that the mineral deposit is in the shape of a dome, and for the sake of economy, they would like to find where the deposit is closest to the surface. Assuming the surface to be the xy-plane, in what direction from the first bore-hole would you suggest the geologists drill their fourth borehole?
