The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet

What is distance ?

  • Distance is defined to be the magnitude or size of displacement between two positions.
  • Note that the distance between two positions is not the same as the distance traveled between them.
  • Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions. Distance traveled is not a vector.

The given parameters are;

The angle at which Balloon A rises, x° = 50° above horizontal

The angle at which Balloon B rises, y° = 78° above horizontal

The (vertical) distance of Balloon A to the ground, h = 1,000 ft.

The required parameter;

The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d

We find the distances of the balloons from Charlie and the angle between the balloon strings, θ, then apply cosine rule

Let,

The height of the balloon strings are equal

The distance of Balloon A to the ground, h₁ = The distance of Balloon B to the ground, h₂ = 1,000 ft.

The distance of the Balloon A  from Charlie, l₁, is given as follows;

l₁ × sin(x°) = h₁

∴ l₁ = h₁/(sin(x°))

Which gives;

l₁ = 1,000 ft./(sin(50°)) ≈ 1,305.41 ft.

l₁ ≈ 1,305.41 ft.

For Balloon B, we get;

h₁ = h₂ = 1,000 ft.

∴ l₂ = 1,000 ft./(sin(78°)) ≈ 1,022.34 ft.

l₂ ≈ 1,022.34 ft

The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 180° - (x° + y°)

∴ θ = 180° - (50° + 78°) = 52°

The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 52°

By cosine rule, we have;

d = √(l₁² + l₂² - 2 × l₁ × l₂ × cos(θ))

∴ d = √(1,305.41² + 1,022.34² - 2 × 1,305.41×1,022.34 × cos(52°)) ≈ 1,052 feet

Therefore, the distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet

Let, the number = x
Then, x * 92% = 253
x = 253 / 0.92   [ 92% = 0.92 ]
x = 275

In short, Your Answer would be 275

Hope this helps!

Fins the value of (15)^3 + (-9)^3 + (-6)^3 , without actually cubing the numbers​
Hatshy [7]

a³ + b³ + c³ + 3abc = ( a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² + ab + bc + ca)

if a + b + c = 0. then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc

here a + b + c = 15 + (-9) + (-6)

a + b + c = 15 - 15

a + b + c = 0

so a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc

15³ + (-9)³ + (-6)³ = 3(15)(-9)(-6)

= 2430

so the answer is 2430

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 21 units 2. Find the missing base B=what units 
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

b = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = base × height

Thus,

Area = 21 units²

base = b

height = 7

Plug in the value into the formula

Thus:

21 = b × 7

Divide both sides by 7

21/7 = b

3 = b

b = 3 units

A committee of three men and two women can be formed from a group of nine men and eleven women in how many different ways.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

4620.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of 3 men from 9

= 9!/(9-3)!3!

=  9*8*7/3*2*1

= 84 ways.

The number of combinations of 2 women from 11

= 11!/11-2)!2!

=  11*10/2*1

= 55 ways.

So the total number of ways  of men and women in the committee

= 84*55

= 4620.
