camera is set up at the starting line of a drag race 60ft from a dragster at the starting line (camera 1 in the figure). Two seconds after the start of the race, the dragster has traveled 180ft and the camera is turning at 0.3 rad/s while filming the dragster. Answer parts a. and b. below. Write an equation relating the distance the dragster has traveled, b, to the angle
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.
