A jogger parks her car 80m directly across from a trail that is parallel to the parking lot. Given the acute angle B formed by the shortest distance to the trail and the path she took, find a) the distance she jogged to the trail and b) the amount of time it took her to reach the trail jogging at a constant rate of 3 m/sec. angle B = 10 degrees
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.
