Two men, 400 feet apart, observe a balloon between them; it is in the same vertical plane as they are. The respective angles of

elevation of the balloon are observed by the men to be 75°20' and 49°30'. Find x rounded to the nearest whole number.

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)

If PQR = STU, find the measure of each part.
alina1380 [7]

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be congruent if for the two triangles all the three sides are equal and all the three angles are equal to each other.

Given that ΔPQR is congruent to ΔSTU, hence all corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal to each other.

∠P = ∠S = 59°

∠S + ∠T + ∠U = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

59 + 75 + ∠U = 180°

134 + ∠U = 180°

∠U = 46°

∠U = ∠R = 46°

∠Q = ∠T = 75°

Also, for the sides:

ST = PQ = 7 m

SU = PR = 8 m
