Answer:
53.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A wire makes a 70 degrees angle with the ground and is attached to the top of a 50 ft. antenna. How long is the wire?
We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Sine
sin theta = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Theta = 70°
Hypotenuse = x = Length of the wire
Opposite = 50ft antenna
Hence,
sin 70 = 50/x
Cross Multiply
50 = sin 70 × x
x = 50/sin 70
x = 53.208888624 ft
Approximately x = 53.2 ft
The length of the wire is 53.2 ft
