Question

A steel wire tied to the top of ma electric
Pole is affixed at a point on the ground at distance of 6m from the foot of the pole .If the wire makes an angle of elevation 60 degree .Find the length of the wire

Answer 1

the answer is

$60 \sqrt{3} \div 3$

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of the wire = 10.21 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the distance to the pole which is adjacent to the angle of elevation we will use Cosine.

We are looking for the length of the wire which is the hypotenuse.

Cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

Let the hypotenuse be y then :

Cos 60 = 6/y

y = 6/Cos 60

y = 10.21 m

The length of the wire = 10.21 m
