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.

What is the slope of a line that includes the points (-5, 1) and (-2, 3).
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Work with the two points

Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Givens

y2 = 3

y1 = 1

x2 = - 2

x1 = - 5

Solution

m = (3 - 1) / (-2 - - 5)

m = 2 / (-2 + 5)

m = 2 / 3

Anestetic [448]
Thee correlation factor formula for two variables is 
(r) =[ nΣxy – (Σx)(Σy) / Sqrt([nΣx^2 – (Σx)^2][nΣy^2 – (Σy)^2])].

A). as per the formula the correlation factor for the given  data is 0.94.

B). the month of September has the highest correlation as 0.94 is much closer to 1 than 0.89.( note: 1 denotes the perfect correlation and 0 denotes no correlation at all)

Find the product of z1 and z2, where z1 = 7(cos 40° + i sin 40°) and z2 = 6(cos 145° + i sin 145°).
Oduvanchick [21]
For two complex numbers z_1=re^{i\theta}=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta) and z_2=se^{i\varphi}=s(\cos\varphi+i\sin\varphi), the product is

z_1z_2=rse^{i(\theta+\varphi)}=rs(\cos(\theta+\varphi)+i\sin(\theta+\varphi))

That is, you multiply the moduli and add the arguments. You have z_1=7e^{i40^\circ} and z_2=6e^{i145^\circ}, so the product is

z_1z_2=7\times6(\cos(40^\circ+145^\circ)+i\sin(40^\circ+145^\circ)=42(\cos185^\circ+i\sin185^\circ)=42e^{i185^\circ}
