The balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 721.7 f

<h3>Angle of elevation and depression</h3>

In order to determine the balloon's vertical distance, we will use the SOH CAH TOA identity

Given the following parameters

Angle of depression = 30 degrees

Horizontal distance =1250 feet

Required

vertical distance H

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan 30 = H/1250

H = 1250tan30
H = 721.7 feet

Hence the balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 721.7 feet

Explain how you know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

Musya8 [376]

Simple, 7/12 is greater than 1/3 because 7/12=0.58333 and 1/3=0.333, 0.58333 is greater than 0.333. That is how I know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3. I know that 1/3 is less than 2/3 because 1/3=0.333 and 2/3=0.666, 0.333 is less than 0.666

Find the magnitude and direction (in degrees) of the vector. (Assume 0° ≤ < 360°.)

$6i~~ + ~~2\sqrt{3}j\implies < \stackrel{a}{6}~~,~~\stackrel{b}{2\sqrt{3}} > \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{magnitude}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\implies \sqrt{6^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2}\implies \sqrt{36+(2^2\cdot 3)}\implies \sqrt{36+12}\implies \sqrt{48} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{direction}{tan^{-1}\left( \cfrac{b}{a}\right)}\implies tan^{-1}\left( \cfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{6} \right)\implies tan^{-1}\left( \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \right) \\\\\\ tan^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\implies 30^o$
