Answer: The guy wire  = 393.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given images:

Refer to the attachment below (I apologize for the bad writing on the computer)

Given information:

Height of the tower = 175 ft

Height of the wire = 15 ft from the top (Opposite)

Angle with the ground = 24°

Length of wire = Unknown (Hypotenuse)

Determine the trigonometric function:

The primary choice will be the Sine function because the angle is opposite to the height and the wire is the hypotenuse of the system.

Determine the equation:

sin θ = (Opposite) / (Hypotenuse)

sin (24°) = (175 - 15) / (Length)

Simplify value in parenthesis

sin (24°) = (160) / (Length)

Multiply the Length of wire on both sides

sin (24°) * (Length) = (160) / (Length) * (Length)

sin (24°) * (Length) = (160)

Divide sin (24°) on both sides

sin (24°) * (Length) / sin (24°) = (160) / sin (24°)

Length = 160 / sin (24°)

Hope this helps!! :)
