A guy wire from the top of the transmission tower at WJBC forms a 75 angle with the ground at a 55-foot distance from the base of the tower.How tall is the tower?

If a guy wire from the top of a tower forms an angle of 75 degrees with the ground, and is 55 feet from the tower, then the tower is 205 feet tall.
The tower is the side of a right triangle that is opposite the angle in question. The adjacent side is the ground distance, or 55 feet. Tangent theta is opposite over adjacent, so tangent 75 is opposite over 55, or opposite is 55 tangent 75.
The guy wire is the hypotenuse in this case, but its length does not matter to the solultion of the question.

How long is a wedge tornado?
There is no set size for a wedge tornado. Generally a wedge tornado is one that appears to be wider than the distance from the clouds to the ground and the height of the clouds can vary.
How tall can the funnel of a tornado get?
The funnel of a tornado always connects to cloud base and typically all the way to the ground (the circulation of a tornado can reach the ground even if the funnel does not). Cloud base height is variable but in a tornado supercell is usually about 3000 feet to a mile above the ground. The circulation of the tornado usually goes a great distance above cloud base and can reach heights of more than 4 miles.
If a radio transmission tower is 190 feet tall how long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 9 feet from the top and is to make an angle of 21 degrees with the ground?
A guy wire attached to a tower 181 feet from the base (190 - 9) and making an angle of 21 degrees with respect to the ground is 505 feet long. sin (21) = 181 / x x = 181 / sin (21) Note: An angle of 21 degrees with respect to the ground is unrealistic. It is probably more correct to say 21 degrees with respect to the tower, which is 69 degrees with respect to the ground. In this case, the guy wire is 194 feet long.
How do you use trigonometry?
Various trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine, show the relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the angles between those sides. So trigonometry is used to calculate angles, lengths and distances using right triangles. Right triangles are those that have one angle of exactly 90 degrees. Example: You want to find the height of a tree. Measure off a fixed distance from the tree and measure the angle between the ground and the line-of-sight to the top of the tree. The height of the tree = the distance to the tree times the tangent of the angle between the tree and the ground, ie tan(x).

If the distance of map is 50cm and the scale of the map is 250,000given.what is the distance of the ground?
In this case you have a map with a scale of 1:250000, meaning 1 map unit represents 250000 units on the actual ground. Since the distance on the map is 50 cm(centimeters) we calculate the distance as follows Distance on the ground = distance on the map * the scale 50 cm * 250000 giving us 12 500 000. Therefore, the distance on the ground is 12 500 000 centimeters.
Where does the transmission fluid goes?
on the ground, if it tranny leaks
