A television transmitter tower is 400 feet high.
\n" ); document.write( " If the angle between the guy wire (attached at the top) and the tower is 54.4°, how long is the guy wire?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can see this is a right triangle where the guy wire is the hypotenuse (h), the two legs are the tower and the dist from the tower to the guy anchor
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the sine of the angle: side opposite/hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "sin(54.4) = \"400%2Fh\"
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"400%2Fsin%2854.4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "h ~ 492 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
