Christmas Math Problem 2

Geometry Level pending

In Santa's workshop, there is a large, rectangular room. All of the points on this rectangle are labelled A A , B B , C C , and D D . A A and B B are the two points on the corners on the floor, and C C and D D are the ones on the roof. We are going to assume that this room is two-dimensional, so there are only four points. Inside of this rectangular room, there is a skating rink across the floor, which is used by all of the elves in Santa's workshop. This skating rink stretches all the way from point A A to point B B , across the floor. Above this skating rink is a slide, and a ramp leading up to the slide. This slide and ramp stretch all the way over the skating rink, ending at the points A A and B B . We will call the point where the ramp ends and the slide starts going down as Y Y . We can measure that the side length of the slide, or line A Y AY is equal to 15, the length of the ramp or line B Y BY is 18 and the angle between the A Y AY and B Y BY at point Y Y is equal to 57 57 degrees. If an elf skating across the rink starts at point A A , and their acceleration is modelled by the differential equation, a ( x ) a(x) = 3 x 2 + 6 3x^2 + 6 , where x x is the elf's position, and a ( x ) a(x) is the acceleration, and we know that v ( x ) v(x) , which is velocity, at v ( 2 ) v(2) is equal to 9 9 , then what is the elf's velocity when it is at point B B , rounded to the nearest hundredth?


The answer is 344.43.
