Answer:

83

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the wire is 83meter.

Given that,

A wire is attached to the top of a tower and to a point on the ground that is 35 m from the base of the tower.

If the wire makes a 65-degree angle with the ground.

We have to determine,

How long is the wire?

According to the question,

The computation of the length of the wire is shown below:

Let, the length of the wire be x,

There is 35m from the base of the tower,

And, the angle with the ground is 65 degree

Therefore,

The length of the wire is given by,

[tex]cos65 = \dfrac{35}{x}\\\\[/tex]

Substitute the value of cos65 in the equation,

[tex]cos65 = \dfrac{35}{x}\\\\x = \dfrac{35}{cos65}\\\\x = \dfrac{35}{0.42}\\\\x = 83.33 \ meter[/tex]

Hence, The length of the wire is 83meter.
