Diego and jonathan are on a hiking expedition. Jonathan is a certain distance ahead of Diego when they both spot a roadrunner at the top of a mountain. From where Diego is, his angle of elevation to the roadrunner is 42°. Jonathan has an angle of elevation of 51° to the roadrunner from where he is standing. The roadrunner is 575 meters above the ground where our hikers are. What is the current distance between Jonathan and Diego to the nearest hundredth of a meter

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.

Question

Diego and jonathan are on a hiking expedition. Jonathan is a certain distance ahead of Diego when they both spot a roadrunner at the top of a mountain. From where Diego is, his angle of elevation to the roadrunner is 42°. Jonathan has an angle of elevation of 51° to the roadrunner from where he is standing. The roadrunner is 575 meters above the ground where our hikers are.
