A helicopter takes o from a point 80 m away from an observerlocated on the ground, and rises vertically at 2 m/sec. At what rate is theelevation angle of the observer's line of sight to the helicopter changingwhen the helicopter is 60 m 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.
