To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75* (degree) from the horizontal. An observer D = 510m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of the light to be 45*(degree). Find the height h of the cloud cover. (Round your answer to the nearest meter) Thank youuu
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.
