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.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

4 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The requested ratio is ...

tile length : board length = (2/3 ft) : (1/2 yd) = (8 in) : (18 in)

= 8 : 18 = 4 : 9

_____

To make a unitless ratio, both parts must have the same units. Here, we chose to express the lengths in inches. We could have used feet or yards as well. (2/3 ft)×(1 yard)/(3 ft) = 2/9 yd or (1/2 yd)(3 ft/yd) = 3/2 ft. You get the same ratio with any of these:

(2/9 yd) : (1/2 yd) = (4 yd) : (9 yd) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 18

(2/3 ft) : (3/2 ft) = (4 ft) : (9 ft) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 6

The heaviest freshwater fish caught in region A weighs 209 lb, and the heaviest freshwater fish caught in region B weighs 629 l

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

$Region\ A= \frac{209}{2240}\\\\Region\ B= \frac{629}{2240}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The English ton, also known as the long ton, is equivalent to 2,240 pounds. Therefore, the fractional parts, of each of the two fish, of the English ton are:

Fish caught in region A:

$A= \frac{209}{2240}$
