Question

A building was 210 ft high and a guy was 8 ft from the top and let down a wire that is .44 radians (degrees) to the ground... How long is the wire?

Answer 1

cosineTheta=202/Length
theta=.44 rad

solve for length

Answer 2

A = (0.44/6.28) * 360o = 25.2o

sin A = h/L
L = h/sin A = 202/sin25.2 = 474 Ft.

Answer 3

-11 1/8+15 5/12=
