A drone craft hovers in the air directly above a straight line on the ground that is 400 feet long. There are observers at each end of the line. The angle of elevation from one observer to the drone is 12°. The angle of elevation from the other observer is 32°. What is the elevation of the drone above the ground
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.
