You have a diagram, so review your basic trig functions. It should be clear that if the balloon is h miles up, then
24/h = tan63°
h = 12.23
From a hot air balloon, the angle between a radio antenna straight below and the base of the library downtown is 63°, as shown below. If the distance between the radio antenna and the library is 24 miles, how many miles high is the balloon? Show your work or explain how you got your answer.
please, this would help me so much!
