I really need help with this one question:
Tino has a weather balloon that is tied to the ground by two wires. At the ground level, the wires are 64m apart. The first wire makes an angle of 48° with the ground and the second makes an angle of 54° with the ground. How long is each wire?
First, find the height of the balloon.
If you draw the diagram, you can see that
h cot48° - h cos54° = 64
h = 204.72 m
Now use the sine function to find the length x of each wire.
h/x = sinθ
