when solving trig word problems using angles of elevation and depression, if it asks for the distance between the two objects can you assume that you're using the hypotonuse unless it says "on a straight path"

A television camera is positioned 4000 ft from the base of a rocket launching pad. The angle of elevation of the camera has to change at the correct rate in order to keep the rocket in sight. Also, the mechanism for focusing the camera has to take into account the increasing distance from the camera to the rising rocket. Let’s assume the rocket rises vertically and its speed is 600 ft/s when it has risen 3000 ft.

(a) How fast is the distance from the television camera to the rocket changing at that moment?

(b) If the television camera is always kept aimed at the rocket, how fast is the camera’s angle of elevation changing at that same moment?

Two light sources of identical strength are placed 10 m apart. An object is to be placed at a point P on a line, parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on, so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.

(a) Find an expression for the intensity at the point P.

(b) If m, use graphs of and to show that the intensity is minimized when m, that is, when P is at the midpoint of ,.

(c) If m, show that the intensity (perhaps surprisingly) is not minimized at the midpoint.

(d) Somewhere between m and m there is a transitional value of d at which the point of minimal illumination abruptly changes. Estimate this value of d by graphical methods. Then find the exact value of d.

cant seem to get the correct answer I know the steps on this worded problem I am working on. What I am in need of if the steps so far are right or wrong in solving it.  it is in two parts. Heres the problem

2. Maria Rios sells commercial restaurant supplies and equipment. She is paid on a commission-only basis. Shereceives 2% for her sales up to $60,000. For the next $90,000 of sales, she is paid 3%, and for any sales above$150,000 she is paid 4%. How much commission would Maria earn in a month when her sales were$195,000?

3. Maria Rios (problem 2) is not paid commission on any restaurant supplies or equipment that are later returned.If an item is returned, its price is deducted from Maria’s total sales to get her net sales. The commission-onlyrate is applied to her net sales. Suppose that Maria sold merchandise worth $195,000 but that $40,000 of thatwas later returned.What would be Maria’s commission on net sa
