From a hot air balloon that is between his house and parade, john measures the angle of depression to his house of 35 and to the
parade of 42. If he is 3,500 feet from his house, how far is he from the parade to the nearest 10 feet?
2 answers:
4500 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We can begin by finding x using the tangent rule;
The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side
Tan 35 = 3500 / x
X = 3500 / tan 35
X = 3500 / 0.7
X = 5000
Now that we have x we can calculate the value of ? using the same tangent rule;
Tan 42 = ? / 5000
? = tan42 * 5000
? = 0.9 * 5000
? = 4500

Step-by-step explanation:
Directions
- Draw a circle
- Dear a chord with a length of 24 inside the circle. You just have to label it as 24
- Draw a radius that is perpendicular and a bisector through the chord
- Draw a radius that is from the center of the circle to one end of the chord.
- Label where the perpendicular radius to the chord intersect. Call it E.
- You should get something that looks like the diagram below. The only thing you have to do is put in the point E which is the midpoint of CB.
Givens
AC = 13 inches Given
CB = 24 inches Given
CE = 12 inches Construction and property of a midpoint.
So what we have now is a right triangle (ACE) with the right angle at E.
What we seek is AE
Formula
AC^2 = CE^2 + AE^2
13^2 = 12^2 + AE^2
169 = 144 + AE^2 Subtract 144 from both sides.
169 - 144 = 144-144 + AE^2 Combine
25 = AE^2 Take the square root of both sides
√25 = √AE^2
5 = AE
Answer
The 24 inch chord is 5 inches from the center of the circle.
For unorganized data, median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Let's proceed ~
In ascending order :
12, 13, 23, 26, 26, 35, 38, 44, 47
So, for given data... median is 26
