A support wire extends from the top of a 225 feet radio tower to the ground and makes an angle of 64° with the ground. How long does the wire need to be to reach from the top of the tower to the ground?

250.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached to this answer and appropriate diagram.

From this question, we can see that this is a trigonometric function

The height of the radio tower = 225 feet = Opposite side

θ = Angle 64°

In the question we are told to find the length of the wire needed to reach from the top of the tower to the ground.

From the attached diagram, we can see that that is equivalent to finding the hypotenuse.

Hence, we are using the Trigonometric function of Sine.

sin θ = Opposite side/ Hypotenuse side

sin 64 = 225 feet/ Hypotenuse

Cross multiply

sin 64 × Hypotenuse = 225 feet

Divide both sides by sin 64

Hypotenuse = 225 feet / sin 64

Hypotenuse = 250.33543661 feet

Approximately = 250.34 feet

Therefore, the length of the wire needed to reach from the top of the tower to the ground is 513.3 feet.

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.
