Question

A cable used to brace a utility pole is attached 4.5 ft from the top of the 42 ft pole. If the cable makes a 47 degree angle with the ground, how long to the nearest inch, is the cable from the ground to where it is attached on the pole?

Answer 1

35 feet, 0 inches.

the cable is attached at 42-4.5 feet or 37.5 feet off the ground.

tan47 = 1.07237 = 37.5/x where x = the distance from the utility pole on the ground to the ground where the other pole is. x=34.97 feet which rounded to nearest inch is 35 feet no inches.
