There are two follow on questions as well. I am trying to help my daughter with her homework and not doing a good job. Question 2 - The measure of the angle formed by the pole and the guy wire that attaches to the hill is ____ degrees. (Enter only the number.) Question 3 - If point D on the hill is 5 feet 6 inches above the base, B, of the pole, what is the shortest distance to the nearest inch, from D to the pole? Express your answer in feet and inches, such as 3 feet 10 inches. (Hint: Find the length of ED.)
