Answer:

  A  404 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points of the triangle A, B, and C for the locations of the western station, eastern station, and balloon, respectively, we have the following:

  ∠CAB = 90° - 41° = 49°

  ∠CBA = 90° + 21° = 111°

  ∠ACB = 41° -21° = 20°

side "c" (opposite ∠ACB) is 148 miles

The distance we're asked to find is AC = b, the longest side of the triangle. The law of sines tells us ...

  b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

  b = c·sin(B)/sin(C) = (148 mi)·sin(111°)/sin(20°) ≈ 403.98 mi ≈ 404 mi

#10-1 : What is the probability of randomly choosing a diamond card from a regular deck of 52 cards? What is the probability of
Alchen [17]

\huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}}

There are 13 of each suit in a deck of 52 cards.

This means the probability of drawing a diamond card is \frac{13}{52}. You can divide the numerator and denominator each by 13 to simplify. \frac{13}{52} \div \frac{13}{13} = \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}

Since there are the same number of clubs as there are diamonds, the probabilities are the same.
