As modeled in the diagram below, an access ramp starts on flat ground and ends at the beginning of the top step. Each step is 6 inches tall and 8 inches deep. If the angle of elevation of the ramp is , determine and state the length of the ramp, to the nearest tenth of a foot. Determine and state, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the horizontal distance, , from the bottom of the stairs to the bottom of the ramp.

Cathy wants to determine the height of the flagpole shown in the diagram below. She uses a survey instrument to measure the angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole, and determines it to be . She walks 8 meters closer and determines the new measure of the angle of elevation to be . At each measurement, the survey instrument is 1.7 meters above the ground. Determine and state, to the nearest tenth of a meter, the height of the flagpole.
