9. A 200 ft wire is attached at its ends to the tops of two 75 ft poles that are positioned 150 ft apart across a ravine. How high above the ground is the middle of the wire. (See Example 4 of section 6.9 for guidance)
A 113 -foot tower is located on a hill that is inclined $34^{\circ}$ to the horizontal, as shown in Figure $8.52 .$ A guy-wire is to be attached to the top of the tower and anchored at a point 98 feet uphill from the base of the tower. Find the length of wire needed.

A power pole on level ground is supported by two wires that run from the top of the pole to the ground (Fig. $8-40$ ). One wire is 18.5 m long and makes an angle of $55.6^{\circ}$ with the ground, and the other wire is $17.8 \mathrm{m}$ long. Find the angle that the second wire makes with the ground.
