Trigonometry Optimization Problems

This document contains 4 problems to solve using derivatives of trigonometric functions. The problems are: 1) Find the altitude of a right circular cone of maximum volume inscribed in a sphere of radius 9 cm. 2) Find the length of the fourth side of a trapezoid when its area is maximum, given that three sides are each 8 cm. 3) Find the longest tin rod that can be carried around a corner formed by two corridors intersecting at right angles that are 6 m and 4 m wide. 4) Find the area of the largest regular cross that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 12 inches.

Solve the given problems using derivatives of trigonometric functions.

Make the
necessary drawings. Specify the given dimensions as well as the unknowns.
1. Find the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume inscribed about a sphere
of radius 9 cm.
2. Three sides of a trapezoid are each 8 cm long. How long is the fourth side when the area
of the trapezoid is a maximum.
3. Two corridors 6 m and 4 m wide respectively, intersect at right angles. Find the length of
the longest tin rod that can be carried around horizontally around the corner without
bending.
4. Find the area of the largest regular cross that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 12 in.
(A regular cross is a square surmounted by four equal rectangles).
