A spherical balloon of radius r subtends an angle $$\alpha$$ at the eye of an observer, while the angle of elevation of it centre is $$\beta$$. What is the height of the centre of the balloon (neglecting the height of the observer) ?

$${{r\sin \beta } \over {\sin \left( {{\alpha \over 2}} \right)}}$$

$${{r\sin \beta } \over {\sin \left( {{\alpha \over 4}} \right)}}$$

$${{r\sin \left( {{\beta \over 2}} \right)} \over {\sin \alpha }}$$

$${{r\sin \alpha } \over {\sin \left( {{\beta \over 2}} \right)}}$$
