A wind tower at the top of a hill casts a shadow 30 m long along the side - the hill. An observer at the farthest edge of the shadow from the tower estimates the angle of elevation to the top of the tower to be 34°. If the slope of the hill is 13° from the horizontal, how high is the tower to the nearest metre?

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.
