Isaac and Albert spot a hot air balloon flying at a low altitude. They decide to calculate its height by standing 400 feet apart

on a level surface and measuring the angle of elevation to the balloon. From
Albert, the balloon was at an angle of elevation of 62°and from Issac its was 48º. Determine the height of
the balloon above the ground to the nearest foot.

Answer:

144 feet to nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Albert and the point on the ground that the balloon is directly above be x feet Then for Isaac the distance is 400 - x feet

So we have 2 right angled triangles and:

tan 62 = h/x

tan 48 = h / (400- x)         where h is the height of the balloon.

From the first equation x = h / tan 62 so plugging this into the second one:

tan 48 =  h /  ( 400 - h/tan 62)

h = 400 tan 48 - h tan 48 tan 62

h + h tan 48 tan 62 = 400 tan 48

h ( 1 + tan48 tan62) = 400 tan48

h = 400 tan 48 / (1 +  tan 48 tan 62)

= 143.8 feet.

12 minutes to drive 30 laps; 48 minutes to drive 120 laps
myrzilka [38]
You can divide 12min.➗30lps. Then you divide 48➗120lps.
And the answer will be 12➗30=0.4 then 48➗120=0.4 and the answer is that the ratios or rates are equvalent by dividing.

Consider vectors u and v, where u = (1, -1) and v = (1, 1). What is the measure of the angle between the vectors?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

I believe the answer is C. 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the lengths of the two vectors, which are both \sqrt{2}. Then you find the angle given the cos using:   cos(∅)=\frac{u*v}{|u|*|v|} = \frac{0}{\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}  } = 0. Then using ∅=acos(0)=\frac{\pi }{2} = 90°
