Consider triangle WBG, where points W, B and G represent Weather Station, Balloon and Ground, respectively. This triangle is right with right angle at vertex G. The legs of this triangle are GB and GW, the hypotenuse is BW.

From the question you know that GB=4 km and GW=1 km. By the Pythagorean theorem,

BW^2=GB^2+GW^2,\\ \\BW^2=4^2+1^2,\\ \\BW^2=17,\\ \\BW=\sqrt{17}\approx 4.123\text{ km.}

Answer: nearly 4.123 km

A frozen pizza is on sale at a 25% discount. Find the sales price of the pizzas if it normally sells for $4.85.
bonufazy [111]
The best thing to do here is to divide $4.85 by 10, and then multiply it by 2.5. $4.85/10= $0.48. $0.48x2.5= $1.20 Therefore,the discount is $1.20, you've then got to subtract this from $4.85. $4.85-$1.20= $3.65 $3.65 is the sale price of the pizza. Hope this helps :)
