Two pieces of steel angle are welded to form right angles. The lengths of the two pieces are 6.0 ft and 10.0 ft, respectively. What is the distance, in feet, between the two unwelded ends? (Round your answer to three significant digits.)

Step 1
We have two pieces of steel angle that are welded to form a right angle. The lengths of the two pieces are given as 6.0 ft and 10.0 ft, respectively. We need to find the distance between the two unwelded ends. To solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Show more…

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 180 ft and 210 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenna and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 61° with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

A 62 -foot guy-wire makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the ground and is attached to a telephone pole (see Figure 6.6 ). Find the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the pole where the wire is attached. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
