A blimp, suspended in the air at a height of 600 feet, lies directly over a line from a sports stadium to a planetarium. If the angle of depression from the blimp to the stadium is 38degrees° and from the blimp to the planetarium is 23degrees°, find the distance between the sports stadium and the planetarium.

1946 ft

Explanation:

The distance is the addition of the distance gotten from both triangles.

d = x + y

d = 1178 ft + 768 ft

d = 1946 ft

Attached is a picture showing how I arrived at the answer

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
