A weather balloon is 529 meters above the ground. Two weather stations, A and B, monitor the balloon’s progress.

A weather balloon is 529 meters above the ground. Weather stations A and B are on the ground to form a triangle. A horizontal line is drawn at the top of the triangle to form angle v on the left and angle w on the right. The angle formed with A is x and the angle formed with B is y. A vertical line is drawn from the weather balloon to the ground to form a right angle and split the distance between A and B into 2 parts. The distance from A to the vertical line is 229 meters, and the distance between the vertical line and point B is 347 meters.

Compare the measures of the different angles of elevation and depression that are labeled in the diagram. Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
x > y
v > x
w = y
y < v
v = w
x < w

A, C, D are correct. In this question the options that are correct are

We have first with legs height to be =529 m and 229 m;

second with legs height =529 m and 347 m.

Then tan x = 529/229

tan y = 529/347

We can see that tanx > tany

Hence x> y

We have alternate angles in the question. This makes x=v, y=w

For D

x > y while x = v

This tells us that v>y
