As a part of their weather unit, Anoki’s science class took a hot air balloon ride. As they passed over a fenced field, the angle of depression of the closer side of the fence was 32°, and the angle of depression of the farther side of the fence was 27°. If the height of the balloon was 800 feet, estimate the width of the field. Round your answer to the nearest foot

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
