The support wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed. Therefore, the length of the support wire is 42.2 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, the height of the tower where the wire was attached is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

The wire was attached 30 m from the top. Hence, 65m - 30m = 35 m.

Therefore,

sin 56° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 56° = 35 / x

The hypotenuse is the length of the support wire.

Therefore,

x = 35 / 0.82903757255

x = 42.2195416164

x = 42.2 m

the temperature at noon was -27 degrees . the temperature increased by 13 degrees by 2pm . what was the temperature at 2pm
Aleks [24]
First, you would create an equation for this problem. 
-27 + 13

Now, all you would have to do is solve it. 
-27 + 13 = -14

By 2 pm the temperature was -14 degrees. 

I hope this helps!
