Answer:
- cable length: 300.2 ft
- anchor distance: 193.0 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The side given is opposite the given angle. We want to find both the hypotenuse and the adjacent side in the right triangle that models the geometry.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(50°) = (230 ft)/h
h = (230 ft)/sin(50°) ≈ 300.24 ft
The length of the cable must be about 300.2 feet.
__
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(50°) = (230 ft)/d
d = (230 ft)/tan(50°) ≈ 192.99 ft
The cable must be anchored about 193.0 ft from the tower.
