The balloon's vertical distance above the ground is 430 feet.

<h3>What is the angle of depression?</h3>

You look straight parallel to the ground. But when you have to watch something down, then you take your sight down by moving your head up.

The angle from horizontal to the point where you stopped your head is called the angle of depression.

From a hot-air balloon, Brody measures a 39° angle of depression to a landmark that's 532 feet away, measuring horizontally.

The angle of depression = 39°

The base = 532

We need to find the vertical distance consider perpendicular.

$\rm Tan \theta = \dfrac{perpendicular}{base } \\\\\rm Tan 39 = \dfrac{perpendicular}{532} \\\\\rm Tan 39 \times 532 =perpendicular\\\\0.80 \times 532\\\\P = 430.80$

Therefore, the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is 430.80 feet.

What is the relation between the variables in the equation x^4/y=7?

makkiz [27]

Answer:

So, the relation between variables are

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Since, we have to find relation between variables

so, we can solve for y

$\frac{x^4}{y}=7$

Firstly, we will multiply both sides by y

$\frac{x^4}{y}\times y=7\times y$

we can simplify it

$x^4=7\times y$

we can isolate y

so, we can divide both sides by 7

so, we get

$y=\frac{x^4}{7}$

Need help on 11, 12, and 13

Sati [7]

11. is 25°
(Both triangles have two congruent angles which means the 3rd angle is bound to be the same. Just add the 90° and the 65° to get 155 and subtract from 180° because all triangles equal 180°)
12. is 25°
(Same as before, two of the angles are congruent so the third one is the same. Add all of the angles together and have them equal 180° because their is a variable present. 2x+60+70=180 or 2x+130=180. subtract 130 from both sides to get the equation 2x=50 and then divide both sides by 2 to get x=25.)
13. y=14 and x=11.6 (assuming m<d says 15x ÷ 2 because I couldn't really read it)
(m<a = m<d and m<b = m<e because they are lined up together in the ABC and DEF equation. so 3y=42 and (15x÷2=87)
