Wires are attached to a pole to make it more secure. The diagram shows one of those wires having a length of 220 feet. The angle

LuckyWell [14K]

The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is

0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft
