Answer 1

Answer:

16.93 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle for the given scenario is shown below.

From the triangles $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta ABD$,

AB is the pole height, BC or BD is the distance of either of the wire guys from the foot of pole, and $\angle C$ or $\angle D$ is the angle that each either of the guys make with the top of pole.

Let the distance of either of the wire guys from the foot of pole be $x$.

Now, consider $\Delta ABC$.

Given: AB = 9 m, BC = $x$, and $\angle C=28$°.

Using tan ratio of the angle C, we get

$\tan (\angle C)=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\tan (28)=\frac{9}{x}\\x=\frac{9}{\tan (28)}=16.93$

Therefore, 16.93 m away from the foot of the pole are the guys anchored.
