If the hot air balloon is 15 feet off the ground, what is the distance between the ground directly underneath the balloon and the second rope rounded to the nearest hundredth of a foot?
I would need more information to answer this question. Is there any information given about the length or slope of the ropes?
What is the total length of both slides on this playground, rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

Perhaps you tried to copy and paste diagrams with these two questions. You can not do that on this site. We can not see your problems.
To find the distance between the ground directly underneath the balloon and the second rope, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, we have a right triangle, with one side being the height of the hot air balloon (15 feet) and the other side being the distance between the ground and the second rope. Let's call this unknown distance "x".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can set up the equation:
x^2 + 15^2 = hypotenuse^2
Since the hypotenuse is the distance between the ground directly underneath the balloon and the second rope, this is what we're trying to find. Let's call it "d". So, we have:
x^2 + 15^2 = d^2
To solve for "d", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's rearrange the equation:
d^2 = x^2 + 15^2
Now, we can take the square root of both sides to solve for "d":
√(d^2) = √(x^2 + 15^2)
d = √(x^2 + 225)
To round the answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot, we need to calculate the value of "d" using the given information. It seems that we don't have enough details to find the value of "x" or "d" directly.
