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.

9. Bertha works in a 32-story building (building-A) that is 140 meters tall located on a boulevard with a slope of 5°. Several blocks uphill, there is another tall office building (building-B), and Bertha decides to compare the height of both building. From the street level at the entrance of her building (building-A) she measures the angle of elevation to the top of the second building (building-B) and finds 20°. She climbs to the roof of her building and measures the second angle of elevation of 12°. Which building is taller and by how much? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

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. Extra Credit:
