A hill is inclined 5 degrees to the horizontal. A 45 ft pole stands at the top of the hill. How long a rope will it take to reach from the top of the pole to a point 35 ft. downhill from the base of the pole. (Insturctions say you either use law of sines, or law of cosines).
I don't know how to begin, or how to draw the picture.
All I know is that one angel is 5 degrees, I think one side is 35ft, and the pole is 45ft. but i don't know the other two angles, or the other two sides.
If you could help me out with this I'd really appriciate it.
