You can put this solution on YOUR website!
label your triangle ABCD.
\n" ); document.write( "A is the foot of the bottom of the 16 foot wire.
\n" ); document.write( "B is the top of the pole
\n" ); document.write( "C is the foot of the bottom of the 20 foot wire.
\n" ); document.write( "D is the base of the pole.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the height of the pole is BD.
\n" ); document.write( "the angle that the second wire makes with the ground is angle BAD.
\n" ); document.write( "the angle that the first wire makes with the ground is angle BCD.
\n" ); document.write( "the distance between the bottom of the 20 meter wire and the bottom of the 16 meter wire is AC. AC is the sum of AD and DC.
\n" ); document.write( "the length of BC is given as 20 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "the length of AB is given as 16 meters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find the height of the pole, use sin(48) = BD / 20
\n" ); document.write( "solve for BD to get BD = 20 * sin(48) = 14.86289651 meters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find the angle that the 16 meter pole makes with the ground, use angle BAD = arcsin(BD/16) = arcsin(14.86289651/16) = 68.26879086 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find the length of AD, use 16^2 - BD^2 = 16^2 - 14.86289651^2 = AD^2 and then take the square root of that to find AD = 5.924044847.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find the length of DC, use 20^2 - BD^2 = 20^2 - 14.86289651^2 = DC^2 and then take the square root of that to find DC = 13.38261213.\r
