Question

Help me with this problem!

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 208.5 ft.

b. 144.9 ft.

Both correct to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) sin 46 = 150 / h where h is the length of the wire.

h = 150/ sin 46

= 208.5 ft.

(b) tan 46 = 150 / x where x is the distance required.

x = 150 / tan 46

x = 144.9 ft.
