Question
Problem: A cable from the top of a 60 foot high tower is to be attached to the ground (x) feet from the base of the tower.
A) if the cable makes an angle of t radians with the ground when attached, express t as a function of x.
B) if t = pi/5, how far is the end of the cable from the base of the tower?
