The length of the support wire on the pole is 27 feet
<h3>How to determine the length of the support?</h3>The given parameters are:
- Distance from the base, b = 10 feet
- Angle with the ground, x = 68 degrees
The length (L) of the support wire is then calculated using the following cosine function
cos(x) = b/L
This gives
cos(68) = 10/L
Make L the subject
L = 10/cos(68)
Evaluate
L = 27
Hence, the length of the support wire is 27 feet
