The tent 3

The top of a 1.3 meters tall tent is tethered to the ground by a cable. The cable makes a 37 degrees angle with the ground. Find the cable length.

Correct answer:

x =  2.1601 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} h=1.3\text{m} \\ \alpha =37{}^{\circ } \\ \sin \alpha =h:x \\ x=h/\sin \alpha =h/\sin 37°=1.3/\sin 37°=1.3/0.601815=2.16=2.1601\text{m} \end{gathered}$$
