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.

A student was trying to calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5 ft. The student’s work is shown below. Which statement is true? Student’s scratch work: C = 2.5(3.14) = 7.85 in. Group of answer choices (A.) They calculated the circumference right because C= 7.85 in. (B.) They did not calculate the circumference right because it should be C = 2(5)(3.14) which would make the circumference 31.4 in. (C.) They did not calculate the circumference right because it should be C = 5(5)(3.14) which would make the circumference 78.5 in. (D.) They did not calculate the circumference right because it should be C = 10(10)(3.14) which would make the circumference 314 in.
