Set up a right triangle. the height is one side of triangle, its length is 400.
The angle opposite to the 400 is 14.3 degrees. The adjacent side is distance across, "x"

Use tangent ratio
tan(14.3) = \frac{400}{x}

x  = \frac{400}{tan (14.3)}

Answer:
2156/9

Explanation:
The question states all the necessary values that we need for the ratio. The company created 2156 board games and 9 card games.

However, what we need to pay attention to here is the order of the ratio.

Because the question is “What is the ratio of the number of board games to the number of card games”, we know that we need to write the ratio so the number of board games is first.

Additionally, ratios can also be written like fractions. The first number of the ratio would be the top number/numerator in fraction form.

Therefore, the ratio of the number of board games to the number of card games is 2156:9

I hope this helps!
