Trigonometric Ratios:

SOH-CAH-TOA

Sine ϑ = = SOH

Cosine ϑ = = CAH

Tangent ϑ = = TOA

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

If = x then = m<A

If = x then = m<A

If = x then = m<A

These rules tell use that we are going to use the inverse of the functions to find the angle

On your calculator you will be using the inverse key (2nd key)
