a balloon 150 yards away on the ground rises vertically. after one minute its angle of elevation is 28 degrees 29 minutes. find its height. find its rate of rise per hour.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 28 degrees, 29 min to degrees: 28 + 29/60 = 28.483
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A right triangle problem
\n" ); document.write( "Find how high (h) it is, after 1 minute
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%2F150\" = tan(28.483)
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%2F150\" = .54257
