Point A is located on an island that is 10 km away from the closest point B on a
straight shoreline. An electrical substation is located at point C that is on the
same shoreline as B and is 4 km away from point B. An electrical company
wishes to lay a power cable from A to C by laying an underwater cable from A
to some point P along the shore between B and C and then on to C via
overhead cable. If the cost of laying cable (in Million of Pesos per km) is 24
million for underwater and 3 million for the overhead cables, where should the
point P be located to minimize the cost of laying the cables?
1.98 km away from the
substation
2.74 km away from the
substation
3.64 km away from the
substation
4 km away from the
substation
mine the height of the right circular cylinder of greatest volume that can be inscribed inside the right circular cone with radius 4 in and height 12 in.
