Ladder and Ocean Depth Calculations

The document contains instructions to answer two questions: 1) A 20-foot ladder leaning against a wall makes a 55 degree angle with the ground. How far is the base of the ladder from the wall? 2) Kristin is swimming above a coral reef below at a depth of 250 feet. The angle of depression to the reef is 35 degrees. How far away is she from the reef?
