Answer:

≈ 397 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

Let h represent the height of the balloon above ground, then

h² + 50² = 400², that is

h² + 2500 = 160000 ( subtract 2500 from both sides )

h² = 157500 ( take the square root of both sides )

h ≈ 397 m ( to the nearest metre )

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to show that:

$\tan(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) = - \cot \: x$

One way is to use the basic double angle formula:

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = \frac{ \sin(x) \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) + \cos(x) \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }{\cos(x) \cos( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) - \sin(x) \sin( \frac{3\pi}{2}) }$

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = \frac{ \sin(x) ( 0) + \cos(x) ( - 1) }{\cos(x) (0) - \sin(x) ( - 1) }$

We simplify further to get:

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = \frac{ 0 - \cos(x) }{0 + \sin(x) }$

We simplify again to get;

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = \frac{- \cos(x) }{ \sin(x) }$

This finally gives:

$\frac{ \sin(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} ) }{\cos(x + \frac{3\pi}{2} )} = - \cot(x)$
