Here you would use right triangle trig (SOH CAH TOA)
So first draw a right triangle. Imagine youre standing at the angle opposite the right angle which is the one on the ground.This angle is the 41°. Now Imagine the balloon is as the angle above the right triangle. Well since the balloon is 1503 m from his location this would be the hypotenuse. SInce we are trying to find the height (x) we would use sine since
sine = opposite/hypotenuse . Now lets solve make sure calculator is in degree mode:
sin41 = x/1503 multiply both sides by 1503 to cancel it out
1503sin41 = x plug into calculator
x = 986.057 ft
The balloon is 986.057 feet above the ground.
To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches
Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.

Answer: Phillip is correct. The triangles are <u>not </u>congruent.
How do we know this? Because triangle ABC has the 15 inch side between the two angles 50 and 60 degrees. The other triangle must have the same set up (just with different letters XYZ). This isn't the case. The 15 inch side for triangle XYZ is between the 50 and 70 degree angle.
This mismatch means we cannot use the "S" in the ASA or AAS simply because we don't have a proper corresponding pair of sides. If we knew AB, BC, XZ or YZ, then we might be able to use ASA or AAS.
At this point, there isn't enough information. So that means John and Mary are incorrect, leaving Phillip to be correct by default.
Note: Phillip may be wrong and the triangles could be congruent, but again, we don't have enough info. If there was an answer choice simply saying "there isn't enough info to say either if the triangles are congruent or not", then this would be the best answer. Unfortunately, it looks like this answer is missing. So what I bolded above is the next best thing.
