To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground. the tree meets the ground at a right angle. at approximately what angle does the wire meet the ground?
a)33.6°
b)39.8°
c)50.2°
d)56.4°

The wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees

Explanation:

It is given that,

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.

The hypotenuse is, H = 12 foot

The perpendicular distance is, P = 10 feet

The angle between the tree and the ground is 90 degrees

Using Pythagoras theorem as :

So, the wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees. Hence, the correct option is (d).
