The distance between two office buildings is 73 m. From the 9th floor of the shorter building, the angle of elevation of the top of the taller building is 31°. From the same floor, the angle of depression to the base of the building was measured as 42°. Use these measurements to calculate the height of the taller tower. Include a diagram with your solution.

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.
