Charlie is watching hot air balloons. Balloon A has risen at a 50° angle. Balloon B has risen at a 78° angle. If the distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,000 feet, how far is balloon B from balloon A? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Two points labeled Balloon A and Balloon B are connected to a point labeled Charlie, which is on a straight line labeled Ground. A dashed line connects point Balloon A to line Ground; another dashed line connects point Balloon B to line Ground; both dashed lines form a right angle with line Ground; the angle formed from point Balloon A, point Charlie, and line Ground measures x degrees; and the angle formed by point Balloon B, point Charlie, and line Ground measures y degrees. 999 feet 1,005 feet 1,052 feet 1,102 feet
