My cat, Huckleberry, sneaked out of the house and climbed onto my roof. My dad brought his extension ladder to help get Huckle down. Dad is standing 6 feet from the house, and the angle of elevation from him to Huckleberry is 75 degrees. To what length should the ladder be extended so that Dad can grab Huckle and bring him to safety? Round to the nearest tenth.
