A communication tower (the side CB) is located at the top (the point C) of a steep hill. The angle of inclination of the hill is 58 degrees. A guy wire is to be attached to the top (the point B) of the tower and to the ground (the point A), 101 m downhill from the base of the tower (the side AC). The angle ∠BAC is 12 degrees. Find the length of cable (the side AB) required for the guy wire in meters
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.
