Bud and Travis are trying to jump a ravine on their motorcycles and need to find the width of the ravine. They use a pole to site across the ravine and then pace out distance along the edge of the ravine as shown in the overhead view. The side view shows the triangles formed by their method. Assume that the ground is flat so Bud makes a right angle with the ground. Is it possible to show that ABUD - AB'U'R? Explain your answer.

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.
