Question

20 POINTS! An 85-foot wire is tied from the top of a utility pole to the top of the building as shown. Find d, the distance from the pole to the building.

Answer 1

D answer 78.810......

Answer 2

d = 78.810 feet

Explanation:

To find the distance d we use sine

sin∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

d is the opposite

the hypotenuse is 85ft

∅ = 68°

sin 68 = d / 85

d = 85 sin 68

d = 78.810 feet
