george is in a hot air balloon that is 125 metres high. the angle of elevation from a house below, to the balloon is 18 degrees. how far is george from the house

Answer 1

let that distance be h , (the hypotenuse)

I see it as

sin18° = 125/h
h = 125/sin18
= ...

Answer 2

it would be 125 divided by sin 18 which is aproximently 404.5
