A support wire reaches from the top of a pole to a clamp on the ground. The pole is
perpendicular to the level ground and the clamp is 10 feet from the base of the pole. The
support wire makes a 68° angle with the ground. Find the length of the support wire to the
nearest foot.

The length of the support wire on the pole is 27 feet

How to determine the length of the support?

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
