Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Balloon in the east makes an angle of elevation of 36^{\circ} and is at height of 461 m

Balloon in the west makes an angle of elevation of 51^{\circ} and is at height of 296 m

Erica height is 1.6 m tall   so net altitude of Red balloon is 459.4 m

and net height of Blue balloon is 294.4 m

using trigonometry

\tan 36=\frac{459.4}{d_1}

\tan 51=\frac{294.4}{d_2}

d_1=632.30 m

d_2=238.4 m

Distance between two Balloons

d=d_1+d_2

d=870.70 m

An item on sale costs 25% of the original price. If the original price was $20 , what is the sale price?
Lorico [155]
So an additional discount of 50% off the sale price would bringthe price to 35% (that is, 50% • 70%) of the original price. Thus, a $100item would cost $35 after both discounts. An 80% off sale means thatyou pay 100% – 80%, or 20% of the original cost of the item.

Use the formula SA=6s2 , where SA is the surface area and s is the edge length of the cube, to solve this problem.
Irina-Kira [14]
Using the SA formula you'll have to substitute in the edge length for s.

SA = 6(312)²
SA = 584064

The surface area is 584,064 feet²

Hope this helps :)
