Answer:

The distance from the balloon to the soccer fields = 3.6 miles ⇒ answer (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let the hot air balloon  at point A , the soccer fields

  at point B and the football field at point C

∵ The measure of the angle of depression to the

   soccer fields is 20° 15'

∴ The measure of angle B = 20° 15'

∵ The measure of the angle of depression to the

   football field is 62° 30'

∴ The measure of angle C = 62° 30'

∵ The sum of measures of the interior angles of any triangle = 180°

∴ The measure of angle A = 180 - (20° 15' + 62° 30') = 97° 15'

* The distance between the balloon and the soccer field

  is represented by the side AB of triangle ABC

- Use the sin Rule to find the length of side AB

∵ a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

- a is the side opposite to angle A, b is the side opposite

 to angle B and c is the side opposite to angle C

∵ AB = c ⇒ opposite to angle C

∵ The distance between the two fields = 4 miles

∴ BC = 4 miles

∵ BC = a ⇒ opposite to angle A

∴ 4/sin(97° 15') = c/sin(62° 30')

∴ c = (4 × sin(62° 30')) ÷ sin(97° 15')

∴ c = 3.6 miles

∴ The distance from the balloon to the soccer fields = 3.6 miles

   answer (b)
