In order to meet safety guidelines, a roof contractor determines that she must place the base of her ladder 4 feet away from the house, making an angle of 73° with the ground. To the nearest tenth of a foot, what is the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the ladder? Draw a figure and show your work.

Geometry Question
The roller coaster is 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 110 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster is at a height of 100 feet above the ground as it descends the hill and reaches a horizontal position of 170 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster levels off at a height of 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 200 feet from the boarding station, then resumes dropping.A drawing of a section of the roller coaster with points marked at 110 comma 80, 170 comma 100, and 200 comma 80.Using the height of 80 feet as a baseline (because that is also the height the roller coaster is when it levels off), determine the rule for the polynomial function representing the height of the roller coaster, h open parentheses x close parentheses, at a horizontal position of x feet from that of the boarding station.
