Question

From a hot-air balloon, Ian measures a 30^{\circ}

Answer 1

The balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 721.7 f

Angle of elevation and depression

In order to determine the balloon's vertical distance, we will use the SOH CAH TOA identity

Given the following parameters

Angle of depression = 30 degrees

Horizontal distance =1250 feet

Required

vertical distance H

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan 30 = H/1250

H = 1250tan30
H = 721.7 feet

Hence the balloon’s vertical distance above the ground is 721.7 feet
