A 51 foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the tent pole is 45 feet, how far is it from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Enter your answers from smallest to largest. Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) d1=_____ d2=_____
