NOTES: 5-5 INVERSES SohCahToa Given an angle measurement, Sin, Cos, and Tan are used to solve for a missing side of a right triangle. What if we need to solve for angles?
Inverse Trig Functions: Given side measurements, inverses are used to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle.

Calculator Tips: Carry decimals through to the last step (only round off for final answer.) Use parentheses when solving for sin-1θ, cos-1θ, tan-1θ in calculator. 3.
Calculator Tips: 3. Use given (exact) values when solving. Try to avoid using rounded off decimal answers when making additional calculations. Use parentheses when solving for sin-1θ, cos-1θ, tan-1θ in calculator.
