Draw the picture; you have a right triangle. The guy wire is the hypotenuse You want the length of the base when the side opposite the 41 degree angle is the tree. You have an angle and the hypotenuse; the base is the side adjacent to the 41 degree angle. EQUATION: cos(41) = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/14 14cos(41) = x x = 10.57 ft
