(a) What is the rate at which the distance between the person and the hot air balloon is changing at the moment the hot air balloon is 400 feet in the air? (b) What is the rate at which the angle of elevation (the angle created by the ground and the person's line of site to the balloon) is changing at the moment the hot air balloon is 400 feet off the ground?arrow_forwardA woman enters a store and walks north a distance of 150 m and then turns East by 150 degrees before walking another 50 m.
