Problem 165
What perentage grade should a road have if elevation of the road is 4 degrees? (The percentage grade is defined as the change in the altitude of the road over a 100 -foot horizontal distance. For example a 5\(\%\) grade means that the road rises 5 feet for every 10 feet of horizontal distance.)
Problem 167
Suppose a 15-foot ladder leans against the side of a house so that the angle of elevation of the ladder is 42 degrees. How far is the foot of the ladder from the side of the house?
