Solve the question
Dear student,
Let the height of the balloon is p
length of the pole = 215 m
This forms a right angled triangle, so
sin 60 = p/h
=> 0.866 = p/215
=> p = 0.866 x 215 = 186.2 m
Hence the height of the balloon from the ground is 186.2 m
If the angle of inclination becomes 30 degree, then
sin 30 = p/h
=> 0.5 = p/215
=> p = 0.5 x 215 = 107.5 m
Hence the height of the balloon from the ground for 30 degree inclination will be 107.5 m
