wire is 4.5 ft from the pole. (a) How much wire is used? (b) How high up the pole is the wire connected?
Wire length = 4.5' / cos 80 degrees = 25.91 feet Distance up the pole to where the wire is connected = 4.5' (tan 80 degrees) = 25.52 feet
let w = wire length using trig............4.5/w = sine 10 degrees...................w = 25.9 ft height of wire attachment = w x cosine 10 = 25.5 ft.
