A light in a park can illuminate effectively up to a distance of 100 meters. a point on a bike path it's 150 meters from the actual light. the sight line to the light makes an angle of 23° with the bike path. what length to the nearest foot of the bike path is effectively illuminated by the light?
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.
