Question

Basic Trig help! A guy wire attached to a pole makes an angle of 74.33 degrees with the level ground and is attached to the pole 34.2 ft above the ground. How far from the base of the pole is the wire attached to the ground?

Answer 1

I understand how to do the problem, I just need help on how I set it up. Once I can get it set up, i can do it myself.

Answer 2

Here is what I think it is, Just need someone to tell me if that is how I set it up

Answer 3

I think the 34.2 should be the height of the pole where the guy wire attaches...then you would be finding the distance from the pole to where the guy wire attaches to the ground

Answer 4

Ok thanks
