A hot air balloon is flying above Groveburg. To the left side of the balloon, the balloonist measure the angle of depression to

the Groveburg soccer fields to be 20° 15'. To the right side of the balloon, the balloonist measures the angle of depression to the high school football field to be 62° 30'. The distance between the two athletic complexes is 4 miles.

Answer:

The answer is 1.4 miles ⇒ answer (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let the balloon is at the vertex A, and the soccer fields

  at vertex B and the football field at vertex C

∴ m∠B = 20° 15' = 20.25°

∴ m∠C = 62° 30' = 62.5°

∴ m∠A = 180 - 20.25 - 62.5 = 97.25°

∵ BC = 4 miles

* By using the sin Rule:

∵ AC/sin(B) = BC/sin(A)

∴ AC = (BC)(sinB)/sin(A)

∴ AC = [4 × sin(20.25)] ÷ sin(97.25) = 1.395 ≅ 1.4 miles

∴ The distance from the balloon to the football filed = 1.4 miles

Imogene invested $8,000 in a bank account that pays 8 percent simple interest at the end of each year. Her friend invested the s
Natali5045456 [20]

The right system of equations to describe the situation would be on the form:

x1 = 8000 + y1*t

and

x2 = 8000 + y2*t

where x1 and x2 represents the total money of Imogene and her friend respectively at the end of t years.

Now for the value of amount earned, y1 and y2:

y1=8000*0.08

y2=2000*√(t-2)
