Question

I just need a answer for part b of the question

Answer 1

If Bailey is right below the baloon, their relative position would be given by the following figure:

As you can see, a rectangle triangle is now formed, then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the base of the triangle (distance between Amber and Bailey), like this:

`\begin{gathered} b=\sqrt[]{50^2-40^2} \\ b=\sqrt[]{2500-1600} \\ b=\sqrt[]{900} \\ b=30 \end{gathered}`

Then, they have to stand 30 feet apart so that bailey is right below the balloon.
