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.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer

$P(t) = 19100. e^{0.06t}$

b) P(8) =30866

Step-by-step explanation

Use formula:

$P(t) = P. e^{rt}$

Here, P = 19100

r = 6% = 0.06

$P(t) = 19100. e^{0.06t}$

b) t = 2008 - 2000 = 8

$P(8) = 19100. e^{0.06\times 8}$

$P(8) = 19100. e^{0.48}$

$P(8) = 19100\times 1.616\\\\P(8) = 30,865.6\\\\P(8) \approx 30,866$

In London today, four times the high temperature was more than twice the high temperature plus

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Let's define the high temperature as T.

We know that:

"four times T, was more than 2*T plus 66°C"

(i assume that the temperature is in °C)

We can write this inequality as:

4*T > 2*T + 66°C

Now we just need to solve this for T.

subtracting 2*T in both sides, we get:

4*T - 2*T > 2*T + 66°C - 2*T

2*T > 66°C

Now we can divide both sides by 2:

2*T/2 > 66°C/2

T > 33°C

So T was larger than 33°C

Notice that T = 33°C is not a solution of the inequality, then we should use the symbol ( for the set notation.

Then the range of possible temperatures is:

(33°C, ...)

Where we do not have an upper limit, so we could write this as:

(33°C, ∞°C)

(ignoring the fact that ∞°C is something impossible because it means infinite energy, but for the given problem it works)

Sandra bought 120 square feet of carpet for a room in her new house. If the room is square, what is the length of each side of t

BARSIC [14]

Answer:
length of each side of the room is 2√30 which is approximately 10.9545 ft

Explanation:
The area of the square can be computed as follows:
Area = l²
where l is the length of the side

We are given that:
area = 120 ft²

Substitute with the area in the above equation and solve for l as follows:
area = l²
120 = l²
l = √120
l = 2√30 ft
This is approximately equal to 10.9545 ft

Hope this helps :)
