Balloon - B, stake - S, point at ground - G

<u>Given:</u>

  • BS = 90 ft
  • m∠BSG = 62°
  • BG = x

<u>Use sine and solve for x:</u>

  • BG/BS = sin ∠BSG
  • sin 62° = x / 90
  • x = 90 sin 62 deg
  • x = 79 ft (rounded)

What is the value of x?
Pepsi [2]

The angle between the segment labled x and the chord labeled 30 is not specified. The measure of x cannot be determined, except to say that it is somewhere between 16 and the radius of the circle, √(16²+15²) = √481 ≈ 21.93.

_____

If the angle between x and the chord were marked as a right angle, one could say x=16, because all chords of the same length are the same distance from the center of the circle.
