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.

Transcribed Image Text:This summer you and your friend Mikhail are going to search for sunken treasure with a
professional team of divers. You will help the team locate likely areas to search for the items
you've been hired to find, plan out expeditions, and you will also travel with the team to carry
out plans.
Although there are many missions to complete,
one specific item you have been hired to find is
called The Cylinder of Fate. The cylinder is
jewel-encrusted and supposedly it will bring
the owner good luck in all aspects of life.
According the legend, this treasure was lost
when a pirate ship named The Howler sank in
rough seas off the coast of a local island.
You have read all the material you could find
about The Howler and about The Cylinder of
Fate. Based on this reading and some
information about the sea floor and tides in the area where The Howler was thought to have
sunk, you suggest that the team start by taking the search boat 65 meters due east of shore. At
this distance the angle of depression between the shore and the hypothetical location of The
Howler and its treasure should be about 30°. The search boat will be at the vertex of a 90° angle
between the shore and the treasure below.
Use this information and what you know about solving triangles using trigonometric functions to
explore the questions below.
Transcribed Image Text:When your team sends the divers down at the location you recommended, they find the remnants
of a ship, but there is no treasure aboard. Based on the photographs the divers took, you and the
team think the boat is not The Howler, but another pirate ship called The Serpent Princess. This
ship was known to travel with The Howler, so the team suspects you have found the right general
area to search,
After some additional reading, you think that The Serpent Princess and The Howler
sank during the same storm. Based on the sizes of each boat, the two wrecks would need to be
about 50 meters apart on the sea floor. Your captain maneuvers the search boat into place. She
activates the sonar and sees there is something that resembles a ship about 18 meters directly
below the search boat.
