It travels 100\,\text{cm}100cm100, start text, c, m, end text before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 120\, \text{cm}120cm120, start text, c, m, end text into a corner pocket. The angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 45^{\circ}45∘45, degrees.
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.
