Question

Draw a picture and label it. Set up an equation and solve it. Show all your work. Round the measure of each angle to the nearest tenth of a degree. Round the length of a side to the nearest tenth of a unit. Assume the ground is level unless indicated otherwise. A balloon, tethered by a cable 996 ft long, was blown by a wind so that the cable made an angle of 58.6° with the ground. Find the height (in ft) of the balloon off the ground.

Step 1

The length of the cable is 996 ft. The angle the cable makes with the ground is 58.6°. We can use the trigonometric function sine to find the height $h$. In the right-angled triangle formed by the balloon, the ground, and the cable, we have: $\sin(58.6^\circ) = Show more…
