Answer:
3.33 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance divided by time = speed
100/30 = 3.33 m/s
The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet
X is the second side. Side 1 is s-5. side 3 is s-2 (s-5+3). They all must add up to 17. Well there is your answer right there. S-2
