I need some help with a problem I don't know what to do?

1. There are many ropes keeping a hot air balloon from floating away before a balloon race. One of these ropes is fixed to the ground at a 45° angle. Another is fixed to the ground at a 30° angle. 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?

2. A toddler's playground has two slides on either side. The slide on the left is situated at a 45° angle to the ground and is 52 centimeters away from
