Ok so to find which sides are congruent we need to know their lengths.

To find the length we need the distance formula between two point ->

√(X2-X1)∧2 +(Y2-Y1)∧2

Ok lets find the first side PQ

P(-1,3) Q(2,-1)
   X1 Y1  X2 Y2

√(2-(-1)∧2 + (-1-3)∧2 = 5

Now PR

P (-1,3) R (5,3)
    X1 Y1  X2 Y2

√(5-(-1))∧2 + (3-3)∧2) = 6

Now the last side QR

Q (2, -1) R (5,3)
   X1  Y1    X2 Y2

√(5-2)∧2 + (3-(-1))∧2 = 5

From the above work we see that PQ and QR are congruent becuase they are equal PQ=QR

Also the opposite angles of these sides are congruent. Hope this helps :).

The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet

What is distance ?

  • Distance is defined to be the magnitude or size of displacement between two positions.
  • Note that the distance between two positions is not the same as the distance traveled between them.
  • Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions. Distance traveled is not a vector.

The given parameters are;

The angle at which Balloon A rises, x° = 50° above horizontal

The angle at which Balloon B rises, y° = 78° above horizontal

The (vertical) distance of Balloon A to the ground, h = 1,000 ft.

The required parameter;

The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d

We find the distances of the balloons from Charlie and the angle between the balloon strings, θ, then apply cosine rule

Let,

The height of the balloon strings are equal

The distance of Balloon A to the ground, h₁ = The distance of Balloon B to the ground, h₂ = 1,000 ft.

The distance of the Balloon A  from Charlie, l₁, is given as follows;

l₁ × sin(x°) = h₁

∴ l₁ = h₁/(sin(x°))

Which gives;

l₁ = 1,000 ft./(sin(50°)) ≈ 1,305.41 ft.

l₁ ≈ 1,305.41 ft.

For Balloon B, we get;

h₁ = h₂ = 1,000 ft.

∴ l₂ = 1,000 ft./(sin(78°)) ≈ 1,022.34 ft.

l₂ ≈ 1,022.34 ft

The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 180° - (x° + y°)

∴ θ = 180° - (50° + 78°) = 52°

The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 52°

By cosine rule, we have;

d = √(l₁² + l₂² - 2 × l₁ × l₂ × cos(θ))

∴ d = √(1,305.41² + 1,022.34² - 2 × 1,305.41×1,022.34 × cos(52°)) ≈ 1,052 feet

Therefore, the distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet
