The balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 570.3 feet
<h3>Angle of elevation and depression</h3>
Given the following parameters
The angle of depression = 36 degrees
Base distance = 785 feet
<h3>Required</h3>
vertical distance above the ground (H)
Using the SOH CAH TOA identity
tan 36 = H/785
H = 785tan36
H = 570.3 feet
Hence the balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 570.3 feet
