Having some trouble with this question, any help? A wire supporting a radio tower is secured to the ground 14 m from the base of

the tower. If the angle between the ground and the wire is 57°, what is the height of the tower, to the nearest tenth of a metre?

By using what we know about right triangles, we will see that the height is 11.7 m.

<h3>How to find the height of the tower?</h3>

We can view this as a right triangle, such that the wire is the hypotenuse of said triangle.

We know that the hypotenuse measures 14 m, and the angle between the ground and the wire si 57°. The height would be the opposite cathetus to that angle, so we can use the rule:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/hypotenuse

Replacing the values we get:

Sin(57°) = H/14m

Sin(57°)*14m = H = 11.7m

The height of the tower is 11.7 meters.
