You can draw a diagram of the situation, representing it by a right triuangle.

In the right triangle the hypotenuse is the distance indicated by the radio signal, 1503 m, and the angle is 41°.

The opposed leg to 41° is the height of the ballon.

Then you can use the sine trigonometric function.

sine (41°) = opposed leg / hypotenuse = x / 1503 m => x = 1503m * sine(41°)

=> x = 986m.

Answer: 986m

Just number 4 pleaseeee
Aleksandr [31]

Hello!

The formula is given to you. :)

C = 3.14 • D (diameter; line across a circle that cuts it in half)

C = 3.14 • 21 = 65.94 inches.

Hope I helped! Also, I hope I didn’t answer this too late. ;)
