Biana uses an angle measuring device on a 3-foot tripod to find the height, h, of a weather balloon above ground level, as shown in this diagram. The balloon is at a 40o angle of elevation. A radio signal from the balloon tells Bianca that the distance between the tripod and the balloon is 25,000 feet. Find the height, h, of the balloon above ground level?
