You are in a hot air balloon looking down at two ponds. Pond A which is in front of your balloon, is at an angle of depression t

hat is your birth month (October), in degrees. (October = 10 degrees). Pond B, which is behind the balloon, is at angle of depression that is your Birth Day in degrees. (October 8 = 8 degrees). The balloon is 875 m in the air.
a. Draw and label a diagram
b. Find the distance from the hot air balloon to both Pond A and B
c. FInd the distance between the two ponds.

a. See attachment for the labelled diagram

b. Using the sine ratio, distance from the hot air to pond A is 5,038.9 m, while distance from the hot air to pond B is 6,287.1 m.

c. Distance between the two ponds is 1,263.5 m.

<h3>What is the Sine and Tangent Ratios?</h3>

Sine ratio, is: sin ∅ = opposite side/hypotenuse length

Tangent ratio is: tan ∅ = opposite side/adjacent length.

a. The diagram with the appropriate labels is shown in the image attached below.

b. Use the sine ratio to find the distance from the hot air to pond A (CA) and to pond B (CB):

CA = hypotenuse

∅ = 10°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 10 = 875/CA

CA = 875/sin 10

CA ≈ 5,038.9 m (distance from the hot air to pond A)

CB = hypotenuse

∅ = 8°

Opposite = 875 m

sin 8 = 875/CB

CB = 875/sin 8

CB ≈ 6,287.1 m (distance from the hot air to pond B)

c. Distance between the two ponds, BA = BD + DA.

Apply the tangent ratio to find BD and DA

tan 8 = 875/BD

BD = 875/tan 8

BD = 6,225.9 m

tan 10 = 875/DA

DA = 875/tan 10

DA = 4,962.4 m

Distance between the two ponds = 6,225.9 - 4,962.4 = 1,263.5 m.

Answer:

I would say NO

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you look at those triangles, the one on they have two matching angles and two one side. The other angle in the triangle on the left isn't marked or anything so we can assume and the one on the right has no marked side. I hope I made a little sense. I don't know how to explain but I guess in short you could say that you don't have enough information to determine if they're the same

AGAIN!! I CAN'T PROMISE IF THIS IS RIGHT!!

Solve the system of equations x – 2y = -19 and - 3x + 5y = 48 by combining<br> the equations.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

x= -1

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation

let

x - 2y = -19.....................................equation 1

-3x + 5y = 48 .................................. equation2

from equation 1

x - 2y = -19.....................................equation 1

x = -19 + 2y................................... equation 3

substitute the value of x into equation 2

-3x + 5y = 48 .................................. equation2

-3(-19 + 2y) + 5y = 48

57 - 6y + 5y = 48

combine the like terms

-6y + 5y = 48 -57

-y = - 9

divide both side by -

y = 9

put y= 9 into equation 3

x = -19 + 2y................................... equation 3

x = -19 + 2(9)

x = -19 + 18

x = -1

therefore the value of x and y is -1 and 9 respectively
