The answer is 471 feet.

If A = man to left of balloon 
<span>B = balloon </span>
<span>C = man to right of balloon </span>

<span>∠BAC = 75°20' </span>
<span>∠BCA = 49°30' </span>
<span>∠ABC = 180 - 75°20' - 49°30' = 55°10' </span>
<span>AB = 400 ft </span>

<span>Now we have to find the value of x, which is the side opposite to angle of 75°20' </span>

<span>Using Law of Sines: </span>
<span>x/sin(75°20') = 400/sin(55°10') </span>
<span>x = 400 * sin(75°20') / sin(55°10') </span>
<span>x = 471.44 </span>
<span>x = 471 ft </span>

A cylinder has a height of 7 millimeters and a diameter of 6 millimeters. What is its volume?​
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

you could not find the formula ?

the volume of a cylinder is ground area × height.

and the ground area is a circle.

so, in total, we have

pi×r²×h

r being the radius (half the diameter), h being the height.

therefore, the volume of the given cylinder is

pi×(6/2)²×7 = pi×3²×7 = pi×63 = 197.9203372... mm³
