Answer

952.49feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will be a right angled triangle

Height = opposite side = 425foot

Length of wire = hypotenuse= x

Angle of elevation= 26.5°

Using the SOH identity

Sin 26.5 = opp/hyp

Sin26.5 = 425/x

x = 425/sin26.5

x =425/0.4462

x = 952.49feet

Hence the length of the wire is 952.49feet
