Hope this helps, we have same name btw
Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distance formula, 
.
Plug the x and y values from the given points into the distance formula:
![\sqrt{([-4]-2)^{2}+(5-5)^{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%28%5B-4%5D-2%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%285-5%29%5E%7B2%7D%7D)
.
Solve the square root:
= 
= 
Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.
