A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against the wall of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2 feet per second. (a) What is the velocity of the top of the ladder when the base is given below? 15 feet away from the wall 20 feet away from the wall 24 feet away from the wall (b) Consider the triangle formed by the side of the house, ladder, and the ground. Find the rate at which the area of the triangle is changing when the base of the ladder is 15 feet from the wall. (c) Find the rate at which the angle between the ladder and the wall of the house is changing when the base of the ladder is 15 feet from the wall.

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.
