I have a sloper that is 73 feet long.
The high end is 34 feet high, and the low end is 8 feet high.
What angle is the antenna?

It's a shame I can't figure out something I should have learned
in the 6th grade; but I don't know how to set the problem up.

Thanks,
Zack

Rise = 34-8 feet = 26 feet
hypotenuse = 73 feet

angle = arcsin of rise/hypotenuse = arcsin (28/73) = approximately 20.9°
between the ground and the wire.

The angle between a vertical support at the apex and the wire is then
90°-20.9° or 69.1°
