(a) We know adjacent side, because the distance between u and baloon is 50m.
(b) We need to find out Opposite side, which is the height of the baloon.
(c) We will use tan. becase, tan relates between adjacent and opposite sides.
(d) tan(angle) = op/adj
=> tan(28) = opp/50
=> opp = 50*tan(28) = 50*0.5317 = 26.585 m
=> answer = 26.585 m
