Two hot air balloons are flying above a park. One balloon started at a height of 3,000 feet above the ground and is decreasing in height at a rate of 40 feet per minute. The second balloon is rising at a rate of 50 feet per minute after beginning from a height of 1,200 feet above the ground. Given that h is the height of the balloons after m minutes, determine which system of equations represents this situation.

the answer is 4200 represents the situation

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
