6. A 19-ft ladder is leaning against a building. Let y be the vertical distance from the base of the building to where the ladder reaches on the building, and 0 be the angle of elevation of the ladder. a. Draw a diagram that depicts this situation using the quantities and variables specified in the problem. b. Write an equation for the angle of elevation 0 in terms of the distance y. c. Find the angle of elevation of the ladder if the ladder reaches the building at a vertical distance of 14 ft high from the base of the building? (Round your answer to the nearest degree.) d. Assuming that one end of the ladder reaches the building at a vertical distance of 14 feet from the base of the building, how far away from the base of the building is the other end of the ladder? (Round your answer to one decimal place and include units.)
