AboutAzeem Hussain Expertise I can answer virtually any kind of question dealing with of Math 536 and below, my forte being in parabolic functions and analytical geometry.
I'm currently learning Linear Algebra, and cannot answer questions that deal with subject matter more advanced than that.
Experience I am neither a professor nor a teacher of this subject. I am merely a student who is gifted at mathematics and enjoys being of service to his community. I frequently tutor people in math and the results are usually great.

Question A pole is used to support an observation platform. The top of the pole is secured by two wires, one 18 and the other 21 feet in length. The 18 foot wire makes a 65 degree angle with the ground. How far apart, are the two wires at the points anchored to the ground?
Answer Hi Armineh,
Assuming the pole is perpendicular to the ground, the pole and its two supporting wires comprise two right triangles. The pole's height is the height of both triangles and the wires are the two hypotenuses.
Begin by using basic trigonometry to find the height of the pole. The height will be 18sin65.
Knowing the height of the pole and the length of the wires, you can find the base measurements by the Pythagorean Theorem.
