At starting hot-air balloon starts 6 feet.

So, at t = 0 , h = 6 feet.

Now, distance travelled per minute is 20 feet.

So, extra distance travelled in t minutes is 20t feet.

Now,

Total height = Staring height + increase in height w.r.t time.

h = 6 + 20t

Therefore, the height h in feet as a function of time t in minutes is h = 6 + 20t .

Hence, this is the required solution.

The width of the rectangle is 7 feet, and the diagonal length of the rectangle is 16 feet. which measurement is the closest to t

yanalaym [24]

Answer: b. 14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the rectangle, the opposite sides are equal. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal right angle triangles. The diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right angle triangles. The length and width represents the opposite and adjacent sides of the right angle triangles.

To determine the length, L of the rectangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

16² = L² + 7²

256 = L² + 49

L² = 256 - 49 = 207

L = √207

L = 14.38

the closest to the length of this rectangle in feet is

14ft

Answer:

Aidan is 2 miles far from the ending point when he reaches the water station.

Step-by-step explanation:

The locations of the starting point, water station and ending point are (3, 1), (3, 7) and (3, 9), all expressed in miles. First we determine the distances between starting and ending points and between starting point and water station by the Pythagorean Theorem:

From starting point to ending point:

$D = \sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(9-1)^{2}}$ (Eq. 1)
