A meteorologist reads radio signals to get information from a weather balloon. The last alert indicated that the angle of depres

sion of the weather balloon to the meteorologist was 41° and the balloon was 1,810 meters away from his location on the diagonal. To the nearest meter, how high above the ground was the balloon

The balloon is 1366 meters above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The angle of depression from the balloon is 41° and the distance from the balloon to the meteorologist on the diagonal is 1,810 meters.

So a right-angled triangle can be formed using these measurements. The angle of the triangle is 41° while the adjacent side of the triangle measures x meters and the hypotenuse side of the triangle measures 1,810 meters.

We need to find the adjacent side's length of the triangle.

Step 2:

Since we have the length of the hypotenuse and need to calculate the length of the adjacent side we use the cos of the given angle.

The adjacent side of the triangle = x meters.

The hypotenuse of the triangle = 1,810 meters.

cos\theta = \frac{adjacentside}{hypotenuse}, cos41 = \frac{x}{1810}, cos 41 = 0.7547.

x = 0.7547 (1810) = 1,366.007.

So the balloon is 1,366.007 meters above from the ground. Rounding this off to the nearest meter it is 1,366 meters from the ground.

makvit [3.9K]
Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
36^2 + b^2 = 85^2
1296 + b^2 = 7225
b^2 = 7225 - 1296
b^2 = 5926
b = square root of 5929
b = 77 inches long

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since tangent is opposite/adjacent,

Tan 40 in this case would be x/3.8 (i used x because we don't know what the value is)

So, you set it up as an algebra problem

Tan40 = x/3.8

Multiply both sides by 3.8

3.8tan40 = x, Option A

And then, angle E is 50 degrees

So tan 50 = 3.8/x

Multiply both sides by x

tan50x = 3.8

Divide both sides by tan50

x= 3.8/tan50

So, A and D are both correct

Can anyone please help me determine the slope of the line in the graph.
juin [17]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to read 2 points off the graph.

Where the line crosses the y-axis, the point is (0, 2.5).

The next point up on the line looks like (1, 4.5).

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

To find the difference in y and difference in x, subtract the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates, respectively, in the same order.

difference in y = 4.5 - 2.5 = 2

difference in x = 1 - 0

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = 2/1 = 2

According to a study conducted by an​ organization, the proportion of americans who were afraid to fly in 2006 was 0. 10. A rand
algol13

According to the the concept of hypothesis testing, there is no evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has decreased.

Hypothesis testing:

Basically, in math hypothesis, it test the population on the basis of the sample data taken from the population using a simple random sampling.

Given,

According to a study conducted by an​ organization, the proportion of Americans who were afraid to fly in 2006 was 0. 10. A random sample of 1300  Americans results in 117 indicating that they are afraid to fly.

Now, we need to explain why this is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has.

While we looking into the given question,

Sample size, n = 1300

Number of Americans who were afraid to fly, x = 117

Now, we have to computing the sample proportion of Americans who afraid to fly,

Therefore, p = 117 / 1300 = 0.09

Then the Formulation of Hypotheses is written as,

Here the Null Hypothesis: H0: p≥0.10

And the alternative Hypothesis: Ha: p<0.10

Then the Left-tailed test of Test statistic is written as,

Here Let us assume that the level of significance, α = 0.05.

Then the Critical value, z≈−1.645

And the Decision rule is written as

If the value of  |z|<|z0.05|≈1.645: Do not reject the null hypothesis.

Otherwise If value of  |z|≥|z0.05|≈1.645: Reject the null hypothesis.

To know more about Hypothesis testing here.
