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.

Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 5.5, Problem 46E , additional homework tip 2

In soh cah toa use the tangent

But to find the angle use the inverse of tangent in calculator 2ⁿ^d power tan

Then add the fraction which is toa opposite over adjacent

4 over 15 and hit equal then you would get 14.93 degrees then round to the nearest whole number

tan−1(415)=15∘

Thus,

angle of elevation=15∘
