A guy wire is stretched from the top of a tower to a point 10 yards from the base of the tower. The wire makes an angle of 65° with the ground. Draw a diagram and find the length of the guy wire. 4.2 yd. 11.0 yd. 23.7 yd.

The wire, the tower and the ground will make a right triangle with hypotenuse that is equal to the length of the wire, the height that is equal to the height of the tower and the base that measures from the base of the building to point the wire has touched the ground.
The length of the wire will be given by:
cos θ = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse)
thus
cos 65=10/h
h=10/cos 65
h=23.66 yds~23.7 yds
the answer is 23.7 yd
