Tricky Geometry

[HazyGeoGeek]

Could someone help me with this? I need to find the extended length.

Also, the problem is not very clear. Make sure you post complete problem statement.

The length you labeled [MATH]\alpha h[/MATH] is not correct. What is that curve in the second part? What does the second picture have to do with the first? Please give a full and exact statement of the problem.

In the first figure ah means, a is the angle and h is the height. Consider h has several points in them, when you multiply h with a, you will get the corresponding point to form a straight line.
How do I get the points if I need to form a conic shape instead of a straight line? what function has to be used here?

Do you know what a conic section is?

Please share your work - explaining exactly where you are stuck.

Otherwise we have to start from definitions!

You can't multiply one side of a triangle by an angle to get another side. If anything, you would have to multiply by the tangent of the angle. Do you know any trigonometry?

As for the "conic", it needs more information: what kind of conic, and what do you know about it? If you mean an ellipse that is tangent to the two lines shown, you would need at least the lengths of both segments shown, not just one.
