Two trains leave a station on different tracks that make an angle of 110° with the station as vertex. The first train travels at an average rate of 50 miles per hour and the second train travels at an average rate of 40 miles per hour. How far apart, to the nearest tenth of a mile, are the trains after 2 hours?
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.
