Question 616658
a communications company is building a 30 foot antenna to carry cell phone transmissions. as shown in the diagram below, a 50 foot wire from the top of the ground is used to stabilize the antenna. find to the nearest degree the measure of the angle that the wire makes with the ground
------
sin(theta) = 30/50 = 3/5
theta = sin^-1(3/5) = 36.87 degrees
