A weather balloon ascended from an elevation of 18 feet below sea level to an elevation 19 1/2 feet above sea level. What distance dd the weather balloon rise?

The ballon rose a distance of 37 1/2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the level of ascent of the weather balloon.

From the question, we are told that the ballon made a transition from below the sea to above the sea.

Now to calculate the total distance, we shall

be adding the distances below the sea and the distances above;

Mathematically, that would be;

18 feet + 19 1/2 feet = 37 1/2 feet

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
