Draw a picture, label, and solve. 9. Because of prevailing winds, a tree grew so that it was leaning 4° from the vertical (90° plus 4°). At a point 35 m from the tree, the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 23°. Find the height of the tree.
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.
