Answer:

the length of the wire is 13.22 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

  • angle of inclination θ = 63°
  • distance between the guy and the pole, d = 6 ft

Therefore, we must use trigonometry to determine the length of the wire.

Thus,

cos(θ) = 6 / l

l = 6 / cos(63)

I = 13.22 m

The length of the wire is 13.22 m
