Question

Consider the image that shows a tower anchored by a guy with the guy wire is attached at point b on the tower 119 feet above the ground and then anchored to the ground at point a 120 feet from the base of the tower.

Options are: A) sin0= 119/120, B) sin0= 120/119, C) sin0= 119/169, and D) sin0= 120/169

Answer 1

sin0 = 119/169

Explanation:

In trigonometry, the formula for sine is opposite/hypotenuse

To find the opposite, you find the angle and look what is right across from it. In this case 119 is right across from the angle.

And of course, our hypotenuse is 169.

Therefore, your answer is

Sin0 = 119/169
