You Are Holding One of the Tethers Attached to the Top

Question 164

Multiple Choice

You are holding one of the tethers attached to the top of a giant character balloon in a parade.Before the start of the parade the balloon is upright and the bottom is floating approximately 20 feet above ground level.You are standing approximately a = 130 feet ahead of the balloon (see figure) .  You are holding one of the tethers attached to the top of a giant character balloon in a parade.Before the start of the parade the balloon is upright and the bottom is floating approximately 20 feet above ground level.You are standing approximately a = 130 feet ahead of the balloon (see figure) .       Find an expression for the angle of elevation from you to the top of the balloon.   A)   \theta = \arccos \left( \frac { 130 } { l } \right)   B)   \theta = \arccos \left( \frac { l } { 130 } \right)   C)   \theta = \arcsin \left( \frac { l } { h + 17 } \right)   D)   \theta = \arcsin \left( \frac { h + 20 } { l } \right)   E)   \theta = \arctan \left( \frac { 130 } { h + 20 } \right)
Find an expression for the angle of elevation from you to the top of the balloon.


A) θ=arccos(130l) \theta = \arccos \left( \frac { 130 } { l } \right)
B) θ=arccos(l130) \theta = \arccos \left( \frac { l } { 130 } \right)
C) θ=arcsin(lh+17) \theta = \arcsin \left( \frac { l } { h + 17 } \right)
D) θ=arcsin(h+20l) \theta = \arcsin \left( \frac { h + 20 } { l } \right)
E) θ=arctan(130h+20) \theta = \arctan \left( \frac { 130 } { h + 20 } \right)
