A wire attached to the top of a pole reaches a stake in the ground 20 feet from the foot of the pole and makes an angle of 58° with the ground. Find the length of the wire.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a right triangle

cos 58 = 20/length of rope

length of rope = 20/cos 58 degrees

= 37.74 feet

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of wire = 27.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

angle of depression, θ = 43°

distance between the pole and the wire on the ground, d = 20 ft.

Let the length of the wire is L.

According to the diagram,

Cosθ = d / L

Cos 43 = 20 / L

0.73 = 20 / L

L = 27.35 ft

Thus, the length of the wire is 27.35 ft.
