Solving right triangles
• What you need to solve for missing sides and angles of a right triangle:
– 2 side lengths
– or
– A side and an angle
Inverse Trigonometric Ratios
Find the measure of angle C
•Ask yourself, “what 2 sides do I have?”
•Ask yourself, “what trig function should I use? Sine? Cosine? Or Tangent?”
•Set up the ratio
•Find the angle measure.
