Charlie is late for the hot-air balloon rally. He stops his car 65 meters from a hot-air balloon already in flight. While Charli

e watches the balloon ascend, he tilts his eyes up from 28º until he is watching at an angle of elevation of 66º. Find the vertical distance to the nearest tenth of a meter that the balloon ascended while Charlie watched.

Answer: 111.4m

Explanation:

1) Trigonometric ratios

You only need to use tangent ratio.

tangent ratio = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = balloon height / horizontal distance

2) First, find the height of the ballon when he is watching at an angle of elevation of 28°

tangent ratio = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = balloon height / horizontal distance

tan(28°) = balloon height/65m ⇒balloon height = tan(28°)×65m

balloon height = 34.56m

3) Second, find the height of the balloon,when he is watching at an angle of elevation of 66°

tan(66°) = height of the balloon / 65m ⇒ height of the balloon = tan(66°)×65m

height of the balloon = 145.99m

4) Vertical distance the balloon ascended while Charlie watched.

Subtract the final initial height from the final height:

145.99m - 34.56m = 111.43m

4) Round to the nearest tenth: 111.4 m

algol [13]

The answers to the bearing problems are listed below:

  1. How far North is the ship now ___________ 38.82 km
  2. How far East is the ship now ____________ 144.89 km
  3. How far is the ship from its starting point_____241.48 km
  4. On what bearing is it now from its original position____035°

<h3>Meaning of bearing.</h3>

Bearing can defined as branch of mathematics that describes the accurate location of an object at any point in time.

<h3>Analysis</h3>

The answers to the problem from 1-3 can be gotten by using sin and cos to find the missing sides.

The final value can be gotten using the cosine rule

4). bearing from original position = cos^{-1} (a^{2} + b^{2}﹣c^{2}) / 2ab = 35°

In conclusion, the answers for each is given in the list above.

Sholpan [36]

The distance from the park to the grocery store is 0.9 mile. Ezra runs 8 tenths of that distance and walks the rest of the way. The distance ezra runs can be solve by multiplying 8/10 to the total distance.

X = 0.9(8/10)=0.72 mile
