Make a picture in which the vertical pole is the altitude of the triangle formed by the 2 guy wires.
Let h = the height of the attachment point of the wires.
then you will see that h=62 sin 39 = 50 sin x.

asked 01/31/19If a pole has one 62-foot guy wire that makes an angle of 39 with the ground, and a second 50- foot guy wire is available for the opposite side of the pole, what angle measure will the second wire make with the ground?
