Identifying Parts in Right Triangle
A B

Using <A Using <CHypotenuse:
Opposite Side:
Adjacent Side:
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)
Use calculator to find angle
Use your calculator to find each angle measure to the nearest degree.

Example—Finding an angle
Find x. 5

To find missing side use pythagorean theorem
Find the angle measurements
The side lengths of a right triangle are: 6, 8, and 10. Find the measures of the acute angles in the triangle. Round to the nearest degree. A

Find the sin and cos of different angles
Percentage of grade problem
A highway sign warns that a section of road ahead has a 7% grade. To the nearest degree, what angle does the road make with a horizontal line?
