A wire is attached to a 425-foot tower that is perpendicular to the ground. The wire makes an angle of 26.5o to the ground. what is the length of the wire in feet

Answer

952.49feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will be a right angled triangle

Height = opposite side = 425foot

Length of wire = hypotenuse= x

Angle of elevation= 26.5°

Using the SOH identity

Sin 26.5 = opp/hyp

Sin26.5 = 425/x

x = 425/sin26.5

x =425/0.4462

x = 952.49feet

Hence the length of the wire is 952.49feet

283 square feet

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
