The center of a Ferris wheel is 100 feet off the ground, and its radius is 85 feet. The point \(A\) is at the 0 radian position, \(B\) is rotated \(\frac{7\pi}{12}\) radians from \(A\), and \(C\) is rotated \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\) radians from \(A\).
For each point \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\), find how high the position on the Ferris wheel is off the ground. Write an expression using the sine or cosine function, and estimate the value.
