A 50-Foot Wire Running from the Top of a Tent

question 74

Short Answer

A 50-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 54° with the ground. If the length of the tent pole is 44 feet, how far is it from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground.)Apply the rules regarding the use of significant digits to each angle and length after all computations are complete.​
