16. Two guy wires from the top of a 45-ft tent pole are anchored to the ground below by two stakes so that the two stakes and the tent pole lie along the same line. If the angles of depression from the top of the pole to each of the stakes are 38" and 42", how far apart are the stakes? (Assume the tent pole is perpendicular to the ground).

An architect designs a wheelchair ramp for a historical building. The entry way is a level platform at the top of stairs that are 3 meters above ground level and extend 4 m out from the building. There is an obstacle 25 m from the stairs, and the city code for ramps limits the incline angle to 6º. Is there sufficient distance for a ramp within this limit? How do you know? O Yes, because the ratio of O No, because the ratio of O No, because the ratio of is less than tan 6º. is greater than sin 6º. is greater than tan 6º. O Yes, because the ratio of is less than sin 6º.
