You can draw a diagram of the situation, representing it by a right triuangle.

In the right triangle the hypotenuse is the distance indicated by the radio signal, 1503 m, and the angle is 41°.

The opposed leg to 41° is the height of the ballon.

Then you can use the sine trigonometric function.

sine (41°) = opposed leg / hypotenuse = x / 1503 m => x = 1503m * sine(41°)

=> x = 986m.

Answer: 986m

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths of 10, 30, and 31? If so, what kind of triangle is it?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The lengths of the sides can be 10, 30 and 31. This would be a scalene triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if it can create a triangle, we simple need to make sure that the value of one side is not greater than the other two added together. In this case, 10+30 > 31, which means it can be a triangle.

A triangle with no matching sides is called a scalene triangle. Therefore, we know it is a scalene triangle.

What is the justification for the step taken from line 2 to line 3?
natima [27]

Answer:

They subtracted 2x from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

They removed 2x from each side because in order to find x it will have to be removed on one side. Since 2x - 2x = 0 it is 2x is out of the equation for the right side and on the left side -2x -(-4x) = -6x which means that there is one x variable left in the equation thus making it solvable.

A traveling salesman figures it costs 28
Strike441 [17]
I can use the equation .28(m) to solve this problem. If we plug in our numbers, we will get .28(315). This will give us 88.2. 88.2 is $88.2 dollars. Therefore, it costs him $88.2 dollars a week.
