Here you would use right triangle trig (SOH CAH TOA)
So first draw a right triangle. Imagine youre standing at the angle opposite the right angle which is the one on the ground.This angle is the 41°. Now Imagine the balloon is as the angle above the right triangle. Well since the balloon is 1503 m from his location this would be the hypotenuse. SInce we are trying to find the height (x) we would use sine since
sine = opposite/hypotenuse . Now lets solve make sure calculator is in degree mode:

sin41 = x/1503      multiply both sides by 1503 to cancel it out
1503sin41 = x        plug into calculator
x = 986.057 ft
The balloon is 986.057 feet above the ground.

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

<h3>Answer:  (3, 0)</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's isolate x in the first equation.

x-2y = 3

x = 3+2y

Then we'll plug this into the second equation

Afterwards, solve for y.

2x + 4y = 6

2(3+2y)+4y = 6

6+4y+4y = 6

8y+6 = 6

8y = 6-6

8y = 0

y = 0/8

y = 0

Use this to find x.

x = 3+2y

x = 3+2(0)

x = 3

The solution is therefore (x,y) = (3, 0)

If you were to graph both lines, then they would intersect at the location (3,0).

-----------------------------

Checking the answer:

Plug x = 3 and y = 0 into the first equation.

x-2y = 3

3-2(0) = 3

3 - 0 = 3

3 = 3 that works

Repeat for the other equation

2x+4y = 6

2(3) + 4(0) = 6

6 + 0 = 6

6 = 6 that works as well

Both equations are true when (x,y) = (3,0).

The solution is confirmed.

Find x in this 45°-45°-90° triangle. x = 4.5√2 9 18
postnew [5]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , then

sin45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{9\sqrt{2} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

x × \sqrt{2} = 9\sqrt{2} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{2} )

x = 9

Rectangle prism with length 20inches, width 18inches and height 10inches. Suppose water is pumped out of the aquarium at a rate
Anettt [7]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this , we need to first calculate the volume of the rectangular prism. Let’s say this is V.

Mathematically, V = w h l where w, h and l are width , height and length respectively.

V = 20 * 18 * 10 = 3600 in^3

Now to get the number of minutes, we divide the volume by the draining rate.

That would be 3600/360 = 10 minutes
