14. Jessica is viewing a space shuttle launch from a park 18 miles away from the launch point. When she first sees it over the tree line, she measures an angle of elevation of 6°. After it's flown for some time, she measures a new angle of elevation to the shuttle as 74°. Calculate the vertical distance traveled from the moment she first saw it until she took the second measurement. Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Ratios

A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.

Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
