    If you know the sine, cosine, or tangent of an acute angle, you can
    use a calculator to find the measure of the angle, which is the
    inverse of the trigonometric ratio.
    Example 5:
    a) Use a calculator to find the measure of P to the nearest tenth.

    The measures given are those of the leg


    adjacent to P and the hypotenuse, so write the
    equation using the cosine ratio.

    13 adj
    cos P  cos P 
    19 hyp
    13  13 
    , then cos 1    mP. Use a calculator.
    If cos P =
    19  19 
    KEYSTROKES:2ND [COS](13  19) ENTER 46.82644889
    So, the measure of P is approximately 46.8 .
    Example 6:
    b) Use a calculator to find the measure of D to the nearest tenth.

    The measures given are those of the leg


    opposite to D and the hypotenuse, so write
    the equation using the sine ratio.

    16 opp
    sin D  sin P 
    23 hyp
    16  16 
    , then sin 1    mD. Use a calculator.
    If sin D =
    23  23 
    KEYSTROKES:2ND [SIN](16  23) ENTER 44.07920985
    So, the measure of D is approximately 44.1 .
    Example 7: Solve the right triangle. Round side measures to the
    nearest hundredth and angle measures to the nearest degree.

    a)

    Find mA by using a tangent ratio.


    4 opp
    tan A  tan A 
    7 adj
    1 4
    tan  mA Definition of inverse tangent
    7
    29.7448813  mA Use a calculator
    So, the measure of A is about 30 .
    Find mB
    mA + mB = 90°
    30° + mB ≈ 90° mA ≈ 30
    mB ≈ 60° Subtract 30 from each side.

    So, the measure of B is about 60.


    Find AB by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
    (AC)2 + (BC)2 = (AB)2 Pythagorean Theorem

    72 + 42 = (AB)2 Substitution
    65 = (AB)2 Simplify.
    65  AB Take the positive square root of each side.

    8.06 ≈ AB Use a calculator.


    Example 8: Solve the right triangle. Round side measures to the
    nearest hundredth and angle measures to the nearest degree.

    b)

    Find mA by using a tangent ratio.


    11 opp
    tan A  tan A 
    8 adj
    1 11
    tan  mA Definition of inverse tangent

    53.97262661  mA Use a calculator
    So, the measure of A is about 54 .
    Find mB
    mA + mB = 90°
    54° + mB ≈ 90° mA ≈ 54
    mB ≈ 36° Subtract 54 from each side.

    So, the measure of B is about 36.


    Find AB by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
    (AC)2 + (BC)2 = (AB)2 Pythagorean Theorem

    82 + 112 = (AB)2 Substitution


    185 = (AB)2 Simplify.
    185  AB Take the positive square root of each side.

    13.6 ≈ AB Use a calculator.
