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

Figure a is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form figure b. What is the length of x?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. The value of x is 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form Figure B. It means both figure are similar and corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.

\text{scale factor}=\frac{\text{Side of image}}{\text{Side of preimage}}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{16}

Multiply both sides by 16.

\frac{16}{2}=x

8=x

Since scale factor is 1/2, so we can directly say that the side length of image is half of the corresponding side of preimage.

The length of x is 8 inches. Therefore the correct option is 3.

Half of Ethan string is equal to 2/3 of Kayla stream the total length of the string is 10 feet how much longer is Ethan string K
Verizon [17]

Answer:

10/7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let e = Ethan

k = Kayla

The following equations can de derived from the equation :

1/2 e = 2/3k

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

e = 4/3k --- 1

e + k = 10 --- 2

Substitute for e in equation 2

4/3k + k = 10

7/3k = 10

multiply both sides of the equation by 3/7

k = 30/7

Substitute for k in equation 1

e = (4/3) x 30/7 = 40/7

difference in length = 40/7 - 30/7 = 10/7

Omg help with my homework PLEASE ASAP. what donu graph and how do i suow my workkkkk whats the answer
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

you have to start with you b which in your problem is 5 so put a point at 5 on the y-axis on your graph. then with the M (the fraction numbers) you have to move either up or down depending if there is a negative number. so yours is 1/2 so then you would start at the 5 point and go up 1 and right 2 then you just keep repeating till you get a few points and can make a line then you just do the same thing for the other equation. start at 3 on the y-axis and then go up 3 and right 4 then just keep repeating till you get a few point and can create a line at the end the lines should cross each other like perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps:)
