Looking up, Josh sees two hot air balloons in the sky as shown. He determines that the lower hot air balloon is 700 meters away, at an angle of 38 from the vertical. The higher hot air balloon is 1050 meters away, at an angle of 26 from the vertical. How much higher is the balloon on the right than the balloon on the left? Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

In right angled triangle ABC

tan 26=perpendicular/base

tan26 =BC/1050

BC=1050×tan26=512.12m

again

In right angled triangle ADE

tan 38=perpendicular/base

tan38×700=DE

DE=546.9=547m

now

difference in height =547-512.12m=34.8m=35m

35 m is your answer

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
