Question

a hot air balloon climbs continuously along a 30° angle to a height of 5,000 feet. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how far has the balloon traveled to reach 5,000 feet? Draw a sketch and then solve.

Answer 1

I assume you want the distance traveled along the hypotenuse, d, then
sin30° = 5000/d
d = 5000/sin30
d = ...

if you want the horizontal distance traveled , x

tan30 = 5000/x
x = 5000/tan30
= ...
