 Developers can create a sheet modal effect similar to the drawer components available in maps applications. To create a sheet modal, developers need to set the `breakpoints` and `initialBreakpoint` properties on `ion-modal`.
 
-The `breakpoints` property accepts an array which states each breakpoint that the sheet can snap to when swiped. A `breakpoints` property of `[0, 0.5, 1]` would indicate that the sheet can be swiped to 0% of the screen height, 50% of the screen height, and 100% of the screen height. When the modal is swiped to 0% of the screen height, the modal will be automatically dismissed.
+The `breakpoints` property accepts an array which states each breakpoint that the sheet can snap to when swiped. A `breakpoints` property of `[0, 0.5, 1]` would indicate that the sheet can be swiped to show 0% of the modal, 50% of the modal, and 100% of the modal. When the modal is swiped to 0%, the modal will be automatically dismissed.
 
 The `initialBreakpoint` property is required so that the sheet modal knows which breakpoint to start at when presenting. The `initalBreakpoint` value must also exist in the `breakpoints` array. Given a `breakpoints` value of `[0, 0.5, 1]`, an `initialBreakpoint` value of `0.5` would be valid as `0.5` is in the `breakpoints` array. An `initialBreakpoint` value of `0.25` would not be valid as `0.25` does not exist in the `breakpoints` array.
