Read each question. Make sure to answer the question completely. You must show all work!!! NO WORK = NO CREDIT!

1) A hot-air balloon is tied to the ground with two taut (straight) ropes, as shown in the diagram below. One rope
is directly under the balloon and makes a right angle with the ground. The other rope forms an angle of 50º
with the ground.

Determine the height, to the nearest foot, of the balloon directly

above the ground. Determine the distance, to the nearest foot, on the
ground between the two ropes.

3) Given:
2) Express in simplest form: Determine all elements of set A that are in the solution of

the inequality .

4) Using his ruler, Howell measured the sides of a rectangular prism to be 5 cm by 8 cm by 4 cm. The actual
measurements are 5.3 cm by 8.2 cm by 4.1 cm. Find Howell’s relative error in calculating the volume of the prism, to the
nearest thousandth.
5) Graph the solution set for the inequality on the set of axes below. Determine if the point is in the
solution set. Justify your answer.

6) Find three consecutive positive even integers such that the product of the second and third integers is twenty more
