I NEED HELP PLZ AND FAST Charlie is watching hot air balloons. Balloon A has risen at a 56° angle. Balloon B has risen at an 81° angle. If the distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,200 feet, how far is balloon B from balloon A? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
999 feet
1,005 feet
1,052 feet
1,102 feet

The balloon B is 1052 feet from balloon A

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

c > -10.55
