Solving Right Triangles

Finding Corresponding AnglesUse the trigonometric ratio to determine which angle of the triangle is A.

Another ExampleUse the given trigonometric ratio to determine which angle of the triangle is A.

Inverse Trig RatiosIf you know the sine, cosine, or tangent of an acute angle measure, you can use the inverse trigonometric functions to find the measure of the angle.

Examples
