Would it still be one thousand feet?
Because the 500 shouldn't matter
If it does then it's 1500

Answer:

Distance between balloon and point of liftoff is 1118 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot air balloon rises straight up 500 feet. It catches a breeze and is blown west 1000 feet.

Since this phenomenon is three dimensional but I have drawn it in 2 dimensions.

So distance between balloon and the liftoff point will be

x² = 1000² + 500²

x^{2}=10^{6}+0.25(10)^{6}

             = 1.25(10)^{6}

x = \sqrt{1.25(10)^{6} }

  = 1.118×1000

  = 1118 feet

Therefore, distance between balloon from the point of liftoff is 1118 feet

Jan is 2/3 of Karyn's age. Jan's age 8 years ago is 2/5 of Katyn's age 4 yeats from now. Jan is how many younger than Karyn?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

12 years younger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jan's age be J and Karyn's age be K.

J= \frac{2}{3}  K

Jan's age 8 years ago is 2/5 of Karyn's age 4 yeaRs from now.

J-8 = \frac{2}{5} (K+4)

=> (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{2}{5} ) K = \frac{8}{5} + 8

=> 4K = 48 X 3

=> K= 36.

=> J= 24.

So Jan is 12 years younger.

X + 3y = −4 x + 5y = −6
lesya [120]

For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

x + 3y = -4\\x + 5y = -6

We clear x of both equations:

x = -4-3y\\x = -6-5y

We match:

-4-3y = -6-5y\\-3y + 5y = -6 + 4\\2y = -2\\y = \frac {-2} {2}\\y = -1

We find the value of "x":

x = -4-3 (-1)\\x = -4 + 3\\x = -1

Thus, the solution of the system is:

(x, y): (- 1, -1)

Answer:

(x, y): (- 1, -1)

Find the AREA of this shape
vredina [299]
104 square yards

The formula for area of a rectangle is length times width.

A = length x width
A = 13 x 8
A = 104
Since the units on each side are yards, the area is in square yards.
