Answer:
The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call:
h the height of the ballonist above the ground,
a the distance between the two observers,
the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist
the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist
and
the angles of elevation meassured by each observer
S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist
So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.
(equation 1)
but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.
(equation 2)
But we can write in terms of
, like this:
And for will be the same:
Replacing in the equation 2:
And replacing in the equation 1:
So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:
Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.
Answer:
Slope is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:
Step 1 -
Step 2 -
Step 3 -
So lets start by doing step one.
All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:
6-5=1
So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.
Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:
-1-(-3) = 2
So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.
Now lets plug this into:
:
So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.
Hope this helps!
