13. A person flying a kite lets out 80 m of string. If the string makes an angle of 62° with the ground, how high is the kite? 14. A ladder 6 m long is leaning against a building. If the angle the ladder makes with the ground is 74°, how far is the foot of the ladder from the wall? 15. From a cliff 30 m high, a person sees a ship. If the distance between the person and the ship is 200 m, what is the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to the ship? 16. According to a safety code, the angle a ladder makes with the ground should be between 70° and 80°. A ladder 5.2 m long is leaning against a building. If its foot is 1.5 m from the wall, is it safe to climb the ladder?
