Answer:
<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Change</u>
The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.
The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:
Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
This is Pythagorean's Theorem, with one leg being 10 and the hypotenuse being 16. Using those values in the theorem looks like this:
and
and
so
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5
and
and
so
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5
