Answer:
If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator. Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

Answer:
17. h = l − l cos θ
18. 1.40 m
Explanation:
Let's call d the height of the triangle. We can then say:
h = l − d
Using trig, we can write d in terms of l and θ:
d = l cos θ
h = l − l cos θ
If l = 6 m and l cos θ = 40°:
h = 6 − 6 cos 40
h ≈ 1.40
