Charlie is watching hot air balloons Balloon A has risen at a 60° angle Balloon B has risen at an 82 angle. If the distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,400 feet, how far is balloon B from balloon A? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Balloon A

Balloon B

Ground

Charlie

999 feet

1,005 feet

1,052 feet

1,102 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that B is directly above A.

x = horizontal distance between Charlie and balloons

 = 1400/tan(60°)

altitude of B = x·tan(82°) ≅ 5751 ft

distance between A and B = 5751-1400 = 4351 ft, which doesn't fit any of the choices. So my initial assumption was incorrect.

Is there any other information? A picture?

hi how are you doing today? if you ever need just tell me

step-by-step explanation:

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
