It is easier to solve the exercise if you first draw the situation posed by the statement:
Now, you can find the measure of the cell tower using the following ratio:

Finally, since the cell tower, the ground, and the guy wire form a right triangle, then you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the guy wire:

Then, you have

![\begin{gathered} a^2+b^2=c^2 \\ (37\text{ ft})^2+(74\text{ ft})^2=c^2 \\ 1369\text{ ft}^2+5476\text{ ft}^2=c^2 \\ 6845ft^2=c^2 \\ \text{ Apply square root to both sides of the equation} \\ \sqrt[]{6845ft^2}=\sqrt[]{c^2} \\ 82.7ft=c \\ \text{ Rounding to the nearest foot} \\ 83\text{ ft }=c \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/kuqzvdp8j1ppd9jwvjlz8u349qg5p8kdj0.png)
Therefore, the length of the guy wire is approximately 83 feet.
