A 25-foot pole is supported by a 40-ft. guy wire that is anchored to the ground a certain distance away from the pole. What angle does the guy wire make with the ground?
so you would use SOH CAH TOA and the inverse of whatever we will use to solve this problem. so we have two measurments 40ft and 25ft. so we will use the inverse of SOH which is sin. so Sin^-1(25/40)=38 degrees is your answer.
