Answer: The answer is 767.72 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use tan since the problem requires u finding out the distance from the airport and ship and u only have the height of the balloon and the angle of depression. So then the equation becomes :

Tan21 = x/2000

Then you multiply by 2000 on both sides:

Tan21(2000) = x(2000)

The equation then becomes:

X= Tan21(2000)

so then x is: 767.72 ft

The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft

A student claimed that reflect a triangle in a line, translating a triangle , rotating a triangle, and reflecting it in a point
Nady [450]

If we reflect a triangle in a line, translate a triangle, rotate a triangle, and reflect it in a point result in an image that will be congruent to the original( pre-image) triangle.

This is a problem from triangular geometry. We can solve this problem by following a few steps.

Here a triangle ABC is given and the triangle is at first reflected and then translated, thereafter it rotates and is later reflected.

After all, these processes the value of ∠A, ∠B, and ∠ C remains the same as usual concerning ∠A''', ∠B''', ∠ and C'', as they just changes coordinates not geometric structures.

After all these processes the length of the triangle AB, AC, BD, and A'''B''', B'''C''', C'''A''' remains the same as usual.

∵ We can conclude that ΔABC ≅ ΔA'''B'''C'''

( As AB = A'''B''', BC = B'''C''', ∠ABC = ∠ A'''B'''C''' )

What comes next in the following series?
allochka39001 [22]

The next number in the series is 30.

<h3>What is series?</h3>

It should be noted that series simply means the operation of adding values together in a data set.

In this case, it can be seen that the numbers are interchangeable between 30 and 31.

In this case, since 31 was the last number, the next number will be 30.
