Learn to solve a word problem using the trigonometric ratios

The video tutorial explains a scenario involving a micro bike trip to Gemini Bridges Trail in Moab, UT. It sets up a problem where a person is standing 60 meters from a canyon cliff, with natural arch bridges 100 meters up the canyon wall. The tutorial guides viewers through calculating the angle of elevation to the top of the bridge using trigonometry, specifically the tangent function and its inverse. The process involves understanding the geometry of the situation, setting up a right triangle, and using a scientific calculator to find the angle, which is approximately 57.7 degrees.
