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.

12. In the given figure, RS is parallel to PQ, If RS = 3 cm, PQ = 6 cm and ar(∆TRS) = 15cm³, then ar (∆TPQ) = ? (a) 70 cm² (b) 5
Gnesinka [82]

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Given that,

In <u>triangle TPQ, </u>

  • RS || PQ,

  • RS = 3 cm,

  • PQ = 6 cm,

  • ar(∆ TRS) = 15 sq. cm

As it is given that, <u>RS || PQ</u>

So, it means

⇛∠TRS = ∠TPQ [ Corresponding angles ]

⇛ ∠TSR = ∠TPQ [ Corresponding angles ]

\rm\implies \: \triangle TPQ \:  \sim \: \triangle TRS \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \{AA \}

<u>Now, We know </u>

Area Ratio Theorem,

This theorem states that :- The ratio of the area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides.

\rm\implies \:\dfrac{ar( \triangle \: TPQ)}{ar( \triangle \: TRS)}  = \dfrac{ {PQ}^{2} }{ {RS}^{2} }

\rm\implies \:\dfrac{ar( \triangle \: TPQ)}{15}  = \dfrac{ {6}^{2} }{ {3}^{2} }

\rm\implies \:\dfrac{ar( \triangle \: TPQ)}{15}  = \dfrac{36 }{9}

\rm\implies \:\dfrac{ar( \triangle \: TPQ)}{15}  = 4

\rm\implies \:ar( \triangle \: TPQ)  = 60 \:  {cm}^{2}

Please help with 17 and/or 18
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Slope Intercept Form: y=3x+10

Slope: 3

y: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3x=10    Add 3x to both sides. The y has to be isolated.

So it is y=10+3x     So we have to reorder it so y=3x+10

What is the experamental probability that the coin lands on heads?
sammy [17]

Answer:

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Experiment:

A coin is Toss

Let the Sample Space be 'S' that is total number of outcomes for a coin has been tossed = { Head, Tail }

∴ n ( S ) =  2

Let A be the event of getting a Head on tossing a coin i.e  { Head }

∴ n( A ) = 1

Now,

\textrm{Probability} =\frac{\textrm{outcomes for the experiment}}{\textrm{total number of outcomes}}

Substituting the values we get

P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)} \\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \\\\P(A) = 0.5\\\\P(A) = 50\%

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %
