Meteorologist wendy stevens uses a theodolite (an angle-measuring device) on a
1-meter-tall tripod to find the height of a weather balloon. she views the balloon at a 44° angle of
elevation. a radio signal from the balloon tells her that it is 1400 meters from her theodolite.
a. how high is the balloon?
b. how far is she from the point directly below the balloon?
c. if wendy’s theodolite were on the ground rather than on a tripod, would your answers change?
explain your reasoning.

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
