Mathematics

Lerok [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The distance to the top of the balloon is approximately 33.977 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The (horizontal) distance from the hot air balloon from the observer, <em>l</em> = 30 m

The angle of elevation to the top of the balloon, θ = 28°

With the balloon standing upright, the distance to the top of the balloon, <em>d</em>, the height of the balloon, <em>h</em> and the horizontal distance to the balloon, <em>l</em>, form a right triangle, where;

d = The hypotenuse side

l = The leg adjacent to the reference (given) angle,

h = The leg opposite to the given angle, θ

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

cos\angle X = \dfrac{Adjacent\ leg \ length}{Hypotenuse \ length}

From which we get;

cos\angle \theta = \dfrac{l}{d}

cos(28^{\circ})  = \dfrac{30 \ m}{d}

d = \dfrac{30 \ m}{cos(28^{\circ}) } \approx 33.977 \, m

The distance to the top of the balloon, <em>d </em>≈ 33.977 m
