| So now that I know what everything stands for. iI remember a problem on my test asking us to find the missing angle. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Okay, when finding the missing angle to a triangle, you have to use the inverse opeartion on your calculator. This just looks like sin, cos, or tan with a -1 at the top. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So in the problem, the value of the opposite side is 14 and the hypotenuse is 16. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| So in order to find the value of this angle you must first identify which function you will be using. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| From there we know the function being used is sine. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| RIGHT Tim! So now all we do is press the inverse for sine and divide 14 by 16 and our value is 61 degrees for the missing angle. | |
