Step-by-step explanation:
The two points can be made into a right triangle with the two sides defined by two lines drawn from the two given points. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse, the distance between the two points. See attached graph.
6^2 + 2^2 = x^2
36 + 4 = x^2
x^2 = 40
x = 6.32
Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where is the radius (
), then:
2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:
3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:
1 g=0.0022 lb
From 5 stones to pounds
4. Then Ryan's weigh is:
5lb+70lb=75lb
5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:
6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call ), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:
≈2,525 balloons.
