We have given that,

A 36-foot guy wire is attached to a utility pole to provide support for the pole. The wire forms a 60° angle with the ground.

This is a right triangle formed of which hypotenuse is

h=36ft.

Angle is θ=60degree

Let P be the height of pole.

What is the value of the sin ratio?

[tex]\frac{Opposite\ side}{hypotenous}[/tex]

then, sin60=P/H or root3/2=P/36

P=36√3/2

or

P=18√3ft.

The wire attached to the pole at P=18√3ft.
