L 3 Are the Giraffes Safe? ? ? Arc Length, Sector Area, and Segment Area Application Problems

L 3 Are the Giraffes Safe? A power line is extended above the Knoxville Zoo. As power lines heat up, they begin to sag. The length of the line before heating up is 100 ft. At maximum heat, it expands and has a length of 110 ft. The angle of depression from initial line to sagging line is 30˚. Calculate the length of the sag.

L 3 Discussion Board Why do power lines sag? Is this a safety concern? Why is this something that engineers must think about? How difficult would it be to attain the given information on this sheet? Do you think there is an easier way to solve this problem? How would engineers approach this issue to ensure the giraffes safety? What formulas would engineers use? What further information would you need about this problem to be able to use these formulas?
