11. A telephone pole is supported by an 18-m guy wire that makes an angle of 50° with the horizontal ground. A 14-m guy wire is to be fastened on the other side of the pole for reinforcement. Both wires attach to the pole at its top. Round your answers to the nearest unit, if necessary. a) What angle should the second wire make with the ground? b) How tall is the pole? c) How far is the base of each wire from the base of the pole?
