Draw a right triangle. The balloon is at the top of the short side, and the base is the distance from the person's hand along a path parallel to the ground to where the balloon hovers. Since the angle is 35 degrees, we want the length of that short side, and we get it using the sine function of trigonometry. Sine = opposite over hypotenuse, so we can write an equation where "x" is the short side:
x/30 = sin35
x/30 = 0.5736
x = 17.21
Now add to this the 6.5 feet that the person's hand is off the ground, and the balloon is 23.71 feet above the ground.

What On the following topographic map what is the most likely elevation of point A?
To determine the elevation of point A on the topographic map, look for the contour lines closest to that point. The elevation of point A will typically be indicated by the nearest contour line, with the value increasing or decreasing based on the direction of the contour lines. If point A is between two contour lines, estimate its elevation based on its relative position to those lines. Without the specific map, I can't provide an exact elevation, but this method will guide you in finding it.
