Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find an angle that is coterminal to 495. So, subtract 360 degrees until youre in the range of 0-360. I got 495 - 360 = 135°
Tangent is equal to , we already solved theta which was 135°
This next part is hard to explain to someone who doesnt know their trig circle, idk if you do. The angle 135 is apart of the pi/4 gang. So we know this is going to be some variant of √2/2. Sine of quadrant 1 and 2 is gonna be positive:
Now lets do cosine of 135°, which again is apart of the pi/4 gang because its divisible by 45°. Its in quadrant 2 so the cosine will be negative.
The final step is to divide them. They are both fractions so you should multiply by the reciprocal.
Answer:
72 feet from the shorter pole
Step-by-step explanation:
The anchor point that minimizes the total wire length is one that divides the distance between the poles in the same proportion as the pole heights. That is, the two created triangles will be similar.
The shorter pole height as a fraction of the total pole height is ...
18/(18+24) = 3/7
so the anchor distance from the shorter pole as a fraction of the total distance between poles will be the same:
d/168 = 3/7
d = 168·(3/7) = 72
The wire should be anchored 72 feet from the 18 ft pole.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
This is equivalent to asking, "where do I place a mirror on the ground so I can see the top of the other pole by looking in the mirror from the top of one pole?" Such a question is answered by reflecting one pole across the plane of the ground and drawing a straight line from its image location to the top of the other pole. Where the line intersects the plane of the ground is where the mirror (or anchor point) should be placed. The "similar triangle" description above is essentially the same approach.

Alternatively, you can write an equation for the length (L) of the wire as a function of the location of the anchor point:
L = √(18²+x²) + √(24² +(168-x)²)
and then differentiate with respect to x and find the value that makes the derivative zero. That seems much more complicated and error-prone, but it gives the same answer.
