Andrea is a civil engineer designing a new rod. This new road will connect two intersecting roads and form a triangular piece of land. She has measured the angles, the roads need to meet at to form an oblique triangle. One intersection has a 54° angle, another intersection makes a 47° angle. The side across from the 54° angle, is 320 feet. Determine the length of the other two roads
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.
