A power line is suspended between two towers that are $200 \mathrm{ft}$ apart, as shown in the figure. The shape of the cable is a catenary with equation $$ y=80 \cosh \frac{x}{80} \quad-100 \leq x \leq 100 $$ where $x$ is measured in feet. What is the angle $\theta$ that the line makes with the pole?

A 100-foot vertical tower stands on the side of a hill. A 130-foot guy wire connects the top of the tower to a point on the ground 70 feet from the base of the tower. What is the angle that the hill makes with the horizontal? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. 130 ft. 100 ft. 70 ft.

Length of a Guy Wire A communications tower is located at the top of a steep hill, as shown. The angle of inclination of the hill is $58^{\circ} .$ A guy wire is to be attached to the top of the tower and to the ground, 100 m downhill from the base of the tower. The angle $\alpha$ in the figure is determined to be $12^{\circ} .$ Find the length of cable required for the guy wire.
