Finding the legth of a guy wire 2006-10-15
From Aubrey:
a radio tower 500 feet high is located on the side of a hill with an inclination to the horizontal of 5 degrees. how long should two guy wires be if they are to connect to the top of the tower and be secured at two points 100 feet directly above and directly below the base of the tower?
