Answer:
1. wire is approx. 143.96 ft
2. pole is approx. 106.55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Mapping the information on the SOHCAHTOA picture below:
Φ = 46
wire = hypotenuse
adjacent side = 100
CAH is most suitable:
cos 46° = 100/wire => wire = 100/cos 46 ≈ 143.96
pole = opposite side + 3
TOA is most suitable:
tan 46° = (pole-3)/100 => pole = 3 + 100 * tan 46 ≈ 106.55
