Jeremy has a new laser sight for golf that gives him the straight line distance to any object he points the sight at. From an elevated tee block, he uses the sight and finds that the straight line distance to the green is 378 m. He also determines that the angle of depression to the green is 52°. What is the height of the elevated tee block above the level of the green?

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.
