To determine the angle of elevation, we need to know the height of the observer's eye level above the ground. Let's assume the observer's eye level is at a height of 1.5 meters above the ground.
Given: Distance from the observer to the balloon (horizontal distance): 60 meters Height of the observer's eye level: 1.5 meters Height of the balloon on top of the tree: Unknown (let's assume it as 'h' meters)
To find the angle of elevation, we can use trigonometry. In this case, we can use the tangent function.
Tangent(angle) = Opposite / Adjacent
The opposite side is the height of the balloon (h meters), and the adjacent side is the horizontal distance (60 meters).
Therefore, tan(angle) = h / 60
To find the angle, we can take the inverse tangent (arctan) of both sides:
angle = arctan(h / 60)
Since we don't have the exact height of the balloon on top of the tree, we cannot determine the precise angle of elevation without that information. If you provide the height of the balloon, we can calculate the angle using the formula above.
