We know that

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule:

<span>an = a1 + d(n−1)</span>

where

<span>a1 = the first term
<span>d =the "common difference" between terms

in this problem
a1=15  a2=7  a3=-1  a4=-9  .....    an=-225
d=a2-a1  
d=7-15-----> d=-8

</span></span>an = a1 + d(n−1)
for
an=-225
d=-8
a1=15
find n
-225=15+(-8)*(n-1)--> (n-1)=[-225-15]/-8----> n-1=30---> n=30+1---> n=31

the answer is
31

Aneli [31]
Here you would use right triangle trig (SOH CAH TOA)
So first draw a right triangle. Imagine youre standing at the angle opposite the right angle which is the one on the ground.This angle is the 41°. Now Imagine the balloon is as the angle above the right triangle. Well since the balloon is 1503 m from his location this would be the hypotenuse. SInce we are trying to find the height (x) we would use sine since
sine = opposite/hypotenuse . Now lets solve make sure calculator is in degree mode:

sin41 = x/1503      multiply both sides by 1503 to cancel it out
1503sin41 = x        plug into calculator
x = 986.057 ft
The balloon is 986.057 feet above the ground.
