Answer:
Option D. 59 ft is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The guy wire makes an angle of 55° with the ground and touches the ground 34 ft from the base of the tower.
We have to find the length of guy wire.
From the given triangle
cos 55 = [tex]\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{34}{x}[/tex]
[tex]0.5736=\frac{34}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{34}{0.5736}=59.27 ft[/tex]
Length of the guy wire is 59 ft
Option D is the correct option.
