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.

Question

4. A young man launches a drone from the ground 60ft from where he is standing.
As the drone hovers above the ground, the gps on the controller reads that the
distance from the young man to the drone is 90 ft with an angle of elevation of
48 degrees. If the drone continues to fly away from the man maintaining the
same vertical height. Sketch a diagram of the situation and determine the
distance between the young man and the drone when the angle of elevation is
now 40 degrees.

Considering that the consecutive dials on the electric meter rotate in opposite directions, what is the current reading in kilowatt hours of usage? The initial direction is clockwise.
To estimate the height of a building, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 38°. From a point that is 250 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the building is 49°. If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of the building. The height of the building is feet.
Albie is sitting in a classroom and sees a picture on the black board at a height of 1.5 m from the horizontal level of sight. The angle of elevation of the picture is 30 degrees. As the picture is not clear to her, she moves straight towards the black board and sees the picture at an angle of elevation of 45 degrees. Find the distance moved by Albie.
Suppose you wnat to install a vertical TV tower on the side of a hill which makes a 25 degree angle with the horizon. The tower is 75 meters high, and guy wires are to be attached two-thirds of the way up the tower. If the guy wires are anchored 30 meters up the hill and 35 meters down the hill from the bottom of the tower, find the length of the guy wires.
The roller coaster is 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 110 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster is at a height of 100 feet above the ground as it descends the hill and reaches a horizontal position of 170 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster levels off at a height of 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 200 feet from the boarding station, then resumes dropping.A drawing of a section of the roller coaster with points marked at 110 comma 80, 170 comma 100, and 200 comma 80.Using the height of 80 feet as a baseline (because that is also the height the roller coaster is when it levels off), determine the rule for the polynomial function representing the height of the roller coaster, h open parentheses x close parentheses, at a horizontal position of x feet from that of the boarding station.

You should be able to answer this question after studying Unit 5. A mountain rescue team is preparing to move a stretcher (with an injured climber) down a flat slope. The combined mass of the stretcher and climber is 85 kg, and the slope makes an angle of 18° with the horizontal. The stretcher is held in place by a rope that makes an angle of 25° with the slope. The stretcher is on the point of slipping down the slope. The coefficient of static friction between the slope and the stretcher is 0.15. rope 25° stretcher 18° Model the stretcher and climber as a particle, the slope as a plane and the rope as a model string. Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 ms-2, and round your answers to two significant figures. (a) Draw a force diagram showing the four forces acting on the stretcher. Define the symbols that you use to denote the forces. Choose the Cartesian unit vector i to be parallel to and pointing up the slope, and the Cartesian unit vector j to be…
