The tops of two poles of height 14 m and 20 m are connected by a wire which makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The length of the wire is _____m.
Options:
A .  6m
B .  10m
C .  8m
D .  12m
Answer: Option D : D In triangle ABC, BC = y = 20-14 = 6m; Let AB = x ⇒ Sin30∘= BCAB ⇒12 = 6x ⇒x = 12 Thus, the length of the string is 12 m.
