Question

From a hot-air balloon, Enola measures a 22degrees 
∘
  angle of depression to a landmark that’s 310 feet away, measuring horizontally. What’s the balloon’s vertical distance above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Angle of depression = angle of elevation = 22°. In the right triangle, tan(22°) = height / 310, so

height = 310 · tan(22°) ≈ 310 · 0.4040262 ≈ 125.25 ft.

The balloon is about 125.25 feet above the ground.
