Answer:

175.70 ft, 291.95 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is always a diagram, and writing out trig functions for reference:

SOH CAH TOA

First, solving for length of the cable, ie the hypotenuse:

sin53 = 220 / hyp

hyp sin53 = 220

hyp = 220 * sin53

hyp = 175.70 feet

Then, solving for the base length:

tan53 = 220 / adj

adj * tan53 = 220

adj = 220 * tan53

adj = 291.95 feet
