A certain hill is represented by a hemisphere of radium 1km.
\n" ); document.write( " A man 180cm tall walks down the hill from the summit S at 6km/h. How long (correct to the nearest second) will it be before he is invisible to a person lying on the ground at S
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "S is at the summit of the hill which is the very top of the hemisphere
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a horizontal line thru the this point
\n" ); document.write( "Change 1 km to 1000 meters
\n" ); document.write( "Change 180 cm to 1.8 meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the man's highest point is 1.8 + 1000 = 1001.8 meters from the center
\n" ); document.write( "A right triangle is formed point C to the center A, and a point on the horizontal line that is 1001.8 meters from the center (the man highest point)
\n" ); document.write( "find the angle at the center using the cosine
\n" ); document.write( "cos(A) = \"1000%2F1001.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 3.435 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Find the portion of the circumference that the man walks on the hemisphere.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.435%2F180\" * \"pi%2A1000\" ~ 60 meters
\n" ); document.write( "Find the time it takes to walk this distance at 6 km/hr in seconds
\n" ); document.write( "\"6000%2F3600\" * 60 = 100 seconds\r
