. A 450 ft tall tower is built on the side of a hill that has a slope of 6◦ from horizontal. There are two support wires that connect the top of the tower to points 100 ft up hill and downhill from the base of the tower that help hold the tower perfectly vertical. (a) Draw a diagram of this scenario. Label the two angles that the base of the tower makes with the hillside with their measurements. (b) How long are each of the support wires? Round your answers to the nearest tenth. SHOW WORK thank you inadvance
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.
