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

where
n

is the degree of the denominator.
1. If

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.
