Because x is not defined, it is assumed to be the height of the balloon.

Note that
75° 20' = 75.333°
49° 30' = 49.5°

From the figure shown below, obtain by definition,
a = x cot 49.5° = 0.8541x
b = x cot 75.333° = 0.2617x

Because a + b = 400 ft, therefore
0.8541x + 0.2617x = 400
1.1158x = 400
x = 358.49 ft

Answer: 358 ft (nearest whole number)

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The amount of interest earned at the end of 14 years would be $672.3486

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

In this problem, we have that:

P = 2079, I = 0.0231, t = 14

So

E = 2079*0.0231*14 = 672.3486

The amount of interest earned at the end of 14 years would be $672.3486

zlopas [31]
Let "radical 2" be represented by "r."

Then you are to simplify 4r + 7r - 3r.  This comes out to 11r - 3r = 8r.

The answer is 8 radical 2.
