Question

1. A steel wire is tied to the top of an electric pole and the ground making an angle of 60° with the ground. If the height of the electric pole is 12 m, find length

of the steel wire . ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the wire is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the length of wire, BC represent the distance from the point at which the wire is tied up to the ground to the foot of the pole and AC represents the height of the pole,

Given,

BC = 6 meters,

∠ABC = 60°,

∵ Pole is supposed straight with respect to the ground,

i.e. ∠ACB = 90°,

By the trigonometric ratio

Hence, the length of the wire is 12 meters
