A Steady Wind Blows a Kite Due West $x = 0$

question 94

Short Answer

A steady wind blows a kite due west. The kite's height above ground from horizontal position $x = 0$ to $x = 70 \mathrm { ft }$ is given by
$$y = 100 - \frac { 1 } { 50 } ( x - 20 ) ^ { 2 }$$
Find the distance traveled by the kite.
Give your answer rounded to two decimal places.
