You have planted a tall tree in your yard that needs guy wires to keep it stable until its roots become established. You have attached two guy wires, each 18 feet high up the tree. One wire has a 42 degree angle of elevation with the ground and the other has a 48 degree angle of elevation with the ground. Find the lengths of both wires. What is the length of the longer guy wire? Give answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. Do not include units. guy wire guy wire
