Well, you only listed three pieces so far. But I can already see a
pattern emerging from those three.
Of course, the next piece might return to 1-1/2 inches. I mean,
the pattern can't just keep on going and increasing forever or
Cody would eventually wind up with pieces that are a mile long.
It must eventually return to 1-1/2 inches and start over from there.
From the first piece to the second one, and from the second one
to the third one, the increase is 5/16 inch both times. So if the
pattern is more than three pieces long before it starts over from
1-1/2, then the next piece is
(2-1/8 + 5/16) = (2-2/16 + 5/16) = 2-7/16 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:the height of the balloon is 670.244 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle BLD represents the scenario.
h represents the height of the balloon.
We would apply trigonometric ratio to determine h.
Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side
Looking at triangle LCD,
# = 61 degrees
h = opposite side
x = adjacent side
Tan 61 = h/x
1.7321 = h/x
h = 1.7321x
Looking at triangle LBD,
# = 54 degrees
h = opposite side
x + 100 = adjacent side
Tan 54 = h/x + 100
1.3764 = h/x + 100
h = 1.3764(x + 100)
Therefore,
1.7321x = 1.3764(x + 100)
1.7321x = 1.3764x + 137.64
137.64 = 1.7321x - 1.3764x
137.64 = 0.3557x
x = 137.64/0.3557 = 386.955
h = 1.7321x = 386.955 × 1.7321
h = 670.244 feet
SR because any point on a perpendicular bisecting line is equidistant from the ends of the bisected segment.
