Movie Theater Optimization Problem Demo

This is just a demo and does not claim exactness of calculations. Movie theater optimization problem seeks to determine distance of a seat from a theater with optimum viewing. This amounts to determining maximum viewing angle. First use slider ht to adjust height of screen above the floor level. The use slider a to determine distance from screen for maximum viewing angle. Check ShowTrace while distance is explored to see the trace of the path distance versus viewing angle. Change height to explore effect of height. For more on optimization technique check my online book "Flipped Classroom Calculus of Single Variable" https://versal.com/learn/vh45au/
