You are standing 30 meters from a hot air balloon that is preparing to take off. The angle of elevation from you to the top of the hot air balloon is 28º. Find the
distance from you to the top of the balloon. (Round to two decimal places)

The distance to the top of the balloon is approximately 33.977 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The (horizontal) distance from the hot air balloon from the observer, l = 30 m

The angle of elevation to the top of the balloon, θ = 28°

With the balloon standing upright, the distance to the top of the balloon, d, the height of the balloon, h and the horizontal distance to the balloon, l, form a right triangle, where;

d = The hypotenuse side

l = The leg adjacent to the reference (given) angle,

h = The leg opposite to the given angle, θ

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

From which we get;

The distance to the top of the balloon, d ≈ 33.977 m

(3x-8) or (3x+8)

step-by-step explanation:

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
