May be the vertical distance is 300.
and let horizontal distance be h.
angle of depression (from the balloon) to edge of cliff = 40.5°
so,
tan(40.5)=h/300
h= 300*tan(40.5)
since, tan(45°)=1, tan(40.5°) must be smaller than one as tan(x) is a increasing function.
so 300*tan(40.5°) must be less than 300
therefore the horizontal distance is 256 ft

Lydia has half of her investments in stock paying an 11% dividend and the other half in a stock paying 14% interest. If her tota
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Based on the calculations, the amount of money she invested is equal to $3,520.

<h3>How to determine the amount invested?</h3>

First of all, we would assign variables to the amount of money that he invested at different interest rates as follows:

  • Let x be the amount of money she invested at 11%.
  • Let y be the amount of money she invested at 14%.

Since Lydia invested the same amount of money in both stocks, we have:

x = y     ....equation 1.

At the two interest rates, the total amount Lydia gets is given by:

0.11x + 0.14y = 440     ....equation 2.

Solving the equations simultaneously, we have:

0.11y + 0.14y = 440

0.25y = 440

y = 440/0.25

y = $1,760.

Thus, the total investment is given by:

Total investment = 1760 + 1760

Total investment = $3,520.
