A hot air balloon is released into the air. During its straight ascent, the angle of elevation was 15° and, 3 minutes later, the angle of elevation increased 20°. How fast is the balloon traveling, in km/h, if the angle measurements were taken 300m away from the launch site?

The speed of the balloon is 0.16 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

CD = 300 m

Let AD = x

AB = y

time, t = 3 min

Triangle, ADC

Triangle, BCD

So, y = 109.2 - 80.4 = 28.8 m

Speed = 28.8/180 = 0.16 m/s

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula

d. you cannot tell because there are no values shown.
