Question

A wire is stretched from top of vertical pole standing on level ground. The wire reaches to a point on the ground 10 feet from the foot of the pole, and makes an angle of 70° with the horizontal. Find the height of the pole and the length of wire.

This is a trigonometry problem.

The height of the pole = 10 tan(70°) = 27.47 ft

The length of wire = 10 / cos(70°) = 29.24 ft
