12. A hot air balloon is flying at an altitude of 1,000 ft. The pilot wants to increase the altitude of
the balloon at 5° angle over the next 500 ft. What will be the balloon's change in altitude?
(sin 5° -0.0872; cos 5º = 0.9962; tan 5° = 0.0875)
A. 25.8 ft
B 43.7 ft
C. 231.4 ft
D. 498 ft

Sagot :

Balloon's altitude = 43.7ft as

change in altitude/500 = tan 5°  

change in altitude = .0875*500

                              =43.7ft
