Answer:
x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.
Explanation:
Hence, vertical distance between balloons is 12.8 meters.
y= 61-48.2 = 12.2 m
A right-angle triangle is formed with,
angle θ = 13.3 degrees
opposite (y) = 12.8
adjacent (x) = ?
[tex]tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}[/tex]
Now by putting the values in the above equation.
[tex]tan13^{\circ}=\dfrac{12.8}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{12.8}{tan13^{\circ}}[/tex]
x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.
