A vertical radio tower is located on the top of a hill that has an angle of elivation of 10 degree. A 70-foot guy wire is attached to tower 45 feet above the hill.
-----
Draw a triangle that has a 10 degree angle at the right end
of the base and a right angle at the left end of the base.
------------------
Let the vertical side opposite the 10 degree angle be "x".
----
Draw a line segment as an extension of "x" (that represents
the tower at the top of the hill). That extension is 45' high
------------------
Put that 70' guy wire from the top of the pole to some point
on the hill.

b) what angle does the guy wire make with the side of the hill?
c) How far from the base of the ? is the guy wire anchored to the hill ?
