May be the vertical distance is 300.
and let horizontal distance be h.
angle of depression (from the balloon) to edge of cliff = 40.5°
so,
tan(40.5)=h/300
h= 300*tan(40.5)
since, tan(45°)=1, tan(40.5°) must be smaller than one as tan(x) is a increasing function.
so 300*tan(40.5°) must be less than 300
therefore the horizontal distance is 256 ft
