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.

From her current policy which includes the $50/100,000 limit for bodily injury, $25,000 limit for property change, $250 deductible for collision, and $50 deductible for comprehensive. To increase Susie’s limits the most without increasing her monthly premium by more than $5.00 she should:

Increase coverage on bodily injury to $100/300,000 and on property damage to $50,000.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option d. PQ = YZ

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Choose the most appropriate answer. The PQR triangle and the XYZ triangle are two congruent triangles. The angle P = the angle Y and PR = YX. Side pairs of the same length are ... a. PQ = XZ b. QR = YZ c. QR = XY d. PQ = YZ

we know that

If two triangles are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

Corresponding sides are named using pairs of letters in the same position on either side of the congruence statement

so

we have that

$m\angle P=m\angle Y$

$PR=YX$

so

Triangle PQR is congruent with Triangle YZX

That means

<em><u>Corresponding angles</u></em>

$m\angle P=m\angle Y$

$m\angle Q=m\angle Z$

$m\angle R=m\angle X$

<u><em>Corresponding sides</em></u>

$PQ=YZ\\QR=ZX\\PR=YX$

Can someone help please ? Answer correctly for brainliest and a thanks ! Don't answer if you don't know it please !

professor190 [17]

The first one would be approximately -0.8. It has a negative slope and the data points are fairly close together. The second one is almost a straight line so it would be very close to 1. I would say 0.97 The closer the data is to a straight line the closer the r value is to 1 or negative 1. Hope this helps.
