VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

(D)56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Let AB=10, AC=12 and m∠B=90°.

Thus, from ΔABC, using trigonometry, we have

$\frac{AB}{AC}=sinx$

$\frac{10}{12}=sinx$

$\frac{5}{6}=sinx$

$sinx=0.83$

$x=sin^{-1}(0.83)$

$x=56.4$

Therefore, at $x=56.4$ the wire meet the ground.
