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

AB = x + 15 DC = 4x AD = x + 10 BC = ? Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Show
dexar [7]

Answer:

BC=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent

In this problem

we have that

AB and DC are opposite sides

AD and BC are opposite sides

so

AB=DC

AD=BC

step 1

Find the value of x

AB=DC

substitute the given values

x+15=4x

solve for x

4x-x=15

3x=15

x=5\ units

step 2

Find the length of AD

we have that

AD=x+10

substitute the value of x

AD=5+10=15\ units

step 3

Find the length of BC

Remember that

AD=BC ----> by opposite sides

therefore

BC=15\ units

A triangle has two sides of length 13 and 9. What is the smallest possible whole-number length for the third side
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

14 MUST CHECK TO SEE IF IM CORRECT

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b>c

the two smallest numbers added together must be greater than the greatest number

ex: the triangle has three sides; 2,3,4 it could form a triangle because 2+3>4

SO HERE:

THE NUMBER MUST BE GREATER THAN 13 ADN THE SMALLEST WHOLE NUMBER GREATER THAN 13 IS 14
