While taking a ride in a hot-air balloon in Napa Valley, Francisco wonders how high he is. To find out, he chooses a landmark th

at is to the east of the balloon and measures the angle of depression to be 54degrees. A few minutes later, after traveling 100 feet east, the angle of depression to the same landmark is determined to be 61degrees. Use this information to determine the height of the balloon.

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

Hey pls help worth 30 points

GrogVix [38]

Step 1: Find the slope:

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \dfrac{10-6}{6-5} = \dfrac{4}{1} = 4$

Step 2: Set up your equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ using one of the points.

Using (5,6) we have $y-6 = 4(x-5)$ .

Using (6,10) we have $y-10 = 4(x-6)$

Both of those equations would be correct.

Missing term = –2xy

Solution:

Let us first find the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ .

$-8x^2y^3 \div xy=\frac{-8x^2y^3 }{xy}$

$=\frac{-8\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y}{xy}$

Taking common term xy outside in the numerator.

$=\frac{xy(-8\times x\times y\times y)}{xy}$

Both xy in the numerator and denominator are cancelled.

$=-8xy^2$

Thus, the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ is $-8xy^2$ .

Given the quotient of $-8x^2y^3 \div xy$ is same as the product of 4xy and ____.

$-8xy^2=4xy$ × missing term

Divide both sides by 4xy, we get

⇒ missing term = $\frac{-8xy^2}{4xy}$

Cancel the common terms in both numerator and denominator.

⇒ missing term = –2xy

Hence the missing term of the product is –2xy.
