A helium-filled balloon is attached to a 120-m-long string. The string is tied to a hook on the ground and it makes an angle of 30° with the ground, as shown below. What is the height of the balloon from the ground? (5 points) 60 m 84.84 m 103.92 m 120 m

the height is 120*sin(30°), what ever that number is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin30= x/120 x=120*.5=60

So i thinks its D 120m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. it cannot be. The opposite side is less than that of hypotenuse. I am sure it is 60

Ok i see how you got that. your right. Thank You :)
