Question

A telephone pole 35 feet high is situated on a 11 degree slope from the horizontal. The measure of angle CAB is 21 degrees. Find the length of AC.

Answer 1

is that the actual sketch coz with that u cant do much

Answer 2

oh sorry...

Answer 3

yep

Answer 4

I believe you need to use the law of sines

Answer 5

Answer 6

answer

Answer 7

no... CAB is 21 degrees

Answer 8

and you're assuming that Angle CBA is a right angle

Answer 9

\[\frac{35}{\sin(21)} = \frac{b}{\sin(101)} \rightarrow (35)\sin(101)=b \sin(21) \rightarrow \frac{(35)\sin(101)}{\sin(21)}\] which gives me 95.87.
