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)

Dan had forty-three dimes and forty-one nickels in his bank. His dad borrowed nineteen nickels from Dan.
lozanna [386]
41-19 is 22 so he has 22 nickels. The amount of dimes is put in there to distract you. Just ignore those! :)
