Given: The statement in the question
To Determine: The angle the cable form with the ground
Solution
The statement can be represented using the diagram below
Using trigonometry ratio
[tex]\begin{gathered} tan\theta=\frac{70m}{30m} \\ tan\theta=2.333 \\ \theta=tan^{-1}(2.333) \\ \theta=66.8^0 \\ \theta\approx67^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the angle the cable makes with the ground approximately to the nearest degree is 67⁰
