Answer:

The height of the balloon is 46 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height from the ground to the top of the balloon be represented by x. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Looking at the top of the balloon,

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 53° = \frac{x}{60}

x = 60 x Tan 53°

  = 79.6227

x = 79.62 feet

Looking at the bottom of the balloon, let the height from the ground to the bottom of the balloon be represented by y.

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 29° = \frac{y}{60}

y = 60 x Tan 29°

  = 33.2585

y = 33.26 feet

The height of the balloon = x - y

                                           = 79.6227 - 33.2585

                                           = 46.3642

The height of the balloon is 46 feet.

The answer to your math problem is C. The reason being is 2x times x is 2x^2 and 2x times 11 is 22x. So you first part of the problem looks like 2x^2+22. Then -6 times x is -6x and -6 times 11 is -66. So now the problem is 2x^2+22x-6x-66. So your answer after solving it is 2x^2+16x-66.
