PLWASE HELP GEOMETRY A hot-air balloon is tied to the ground with two taut ropes. One rope is directly under the balloon and makes a right
angle with the ground. The other rope forms an angle of 60° with the ground. Which statements are correct?

Using trigonometry solve for h and d.

H :

Sin(60) = h/120

H = 120 x sin(60)

H = 103.9 = 104 feet

D:

Cos(60) = d/120

D = 120 x cos(60)

D = 60 feet

The correct answers:

A. D = 60 ft.

C. H = 104 ft

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property
