Ahot air balloon rises straight up 500 feet, then catches a breeze and is blown west 1,000 feet. how far is the balloon from the point of liftoff?

Distance between balloon and point of liftoff is 1118 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot air balloon rises straight up 500 feet. It catches a breeze and is blown west 1000 feet.

Since this phenomenon is three dimensional but I have drawn it in 2 dimensions.

So distance between balloon and the liftoff point will be

x² = 1000² + 500²

             =

x =

  = 1.118×1000

  = 1118 feet

Therefore, distance between balloon from the point of liftoff is 1118 feet

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
