Question

A hot air balloon hovers 75 feet above the ground. The balloon is tethered to the ground

Answer 1

Angle of elevation is 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have the opposite side 75 ft to the angle and the hypotenuse 125 ft, we can find the sine value as,

sin θ = opp/ hyp

       = 75/125

     = 0.6

θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6) = 36.9°≈ 37°

So angle of elevation is 37°.
