A15 ft. telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. the wire and the ground form a 42 angle. how long is the wire, and what is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground?

The correct answer is A wire=22.4ft distance 16.7ft

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the pole is 15 ft and the wire and the ground form a 42 angle.

Let the length of wire be x and the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground be y.

Therefore the length of wire is 22.4 ft.

Therefore the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground is 16.7 ft.

Option 1 is correct.
