Hi,
I am trying to solve this question and am having some difficultly.
Two observers 5 kilometers apart measure the bearing of the base of the balloon and the angle of elevation of the balloon at the same instant. One finds that the bearing is 041o, and the elevation is 24o. The other observer finds that the bearing is 032o, and the elevation is 26. 62o. Calculate the height of the balloon.
I am more interested in the working out rather than the final answer. Can anyone help?
