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

Why might you want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding
Delicious77 [7]
<span>Commutative Property is the property in which you can move around numbers in numerical operations like, addition and multiplication while retaining their result. In contrast to subtraction and division in which position is an important factor for every result, here it is regardless. </span>Why might you want to use this property?<span>Well, most importantly it suits the operation of addition and hence, to ensure the arrangement of the number is in symmetric proportion to its counterpart such as 3 + 2=2 + 3. Or rather, understanding that the equations in both sides are but the same and equal in sum. Thus, this is much more usable or will make more sense if used in a larger scale of complex equations and integers.<span>

For the first one to find the total area you have to first find the area of the triangle 1/2(10x12.5)=62.5 and then the square (13.4x12.5)=167.5 which is 10468.75 totaled
