Answer:

199.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the problem I leave an associated graph.

We must calculate the distance of AC, we know AB

AB = 158 miles.

Now we will apply the law of sine where:

AB / sin (° ACB) = AC / sin (° ABC)

We know the ° ABC = 14 °, the statement gives us the ° CAB = 90 ° - 38 ° = 52 °

Now assuming that within a triangle all the angles must add up to 180 °, then

° ACB = 180 ° - 52 ° - 14 ° = 114 °

Solving for AC:

AC = (AB * sin (° ABC)) / sin (° ACB)

AC = (158 * sin (14 °)) / sin (114 °)

AC = 199.38

Therefore the distance between the balloon from the western station is 199.38 miles

How can you quickly determine the number of roots a polynomial will have by looking at the equation?
Alika [10]
Suppose we have a generic polynomial of the form:
 ax ^ 2 + bx + c

 To know how many roots the polynomial can have, the first thing you should do is observe the term of greatest exponent.
 For this case, the term of greatest exponent is 2.
 Therefore, the polynomial has 2 roots.
 Answer:
 
You must observe the term of the polynomial with greater exponent.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer

The owner lose is $100 .

Reason

As given

A man comes into a store and steals $100 from the register without the owner knowledge.

Comes back and buys $70 worth of stuff and the owner gives him $30 in change.

i.e First man steals $100  than give back to owner when he buys  $70 worth of stuff and  the owner gives him $30 in change.

Therefore the total owner lose is the sum of  $70 worth of stuff and  $30 in change.

Total owner lose = $70 + $30

                            = $100

Therefore the owner lose be  $100 .

Hence proved
