On a day with no wind, a hot-air balloon hovers at a point above a long, straight river. On the west side of the balloon, a sailboat is spotted in the river at an angle of depression of 48 degrees. On the east side, a canoe spots the balloon at an angle of inclination of 29 degrees. The distance between the balloon and the canoe is 650 m.

a) What is the height of the balloon?
b) What is the distance between the balloon and the sailboat?
c) What is the distance between the sailboat and the canoe?
