2 Acute Angles and Right Triangle
4
Caution When evaluating trigonometric functions of angles given in degrees, remember that the calculator must be set in degree mode.

Angle Measures Using a Calculator Graphing calculators have three inverse functions. If x is an appropriate number, then gives the measure of an angle whose sine, cosine, or tangent is x.
10
SUMMARY GivenOn your Calculator, use:Result Angle (Degrees o ) Sin, Cos, TanDecimal (Ratio of sides) DecimalSin -1, Cos -1, Tan -1 Angle (Degrees o )

Example 3: Using Inverse Trigonometric Functions to Find Angles Use a calculator to find an angle in the interval that satisfies each condition. Using the degree mode and the inverse sine function, we find that an angle having sine value.8535508 is 58.6. We write the result as
12
Example 3: Using Inverse Trigonometric Functions to Find Angles continued Use the identity Find the reciprocal of 2.48679 to get Now find using the inverse cosine function. The result is 66.289824
13
Use a calculator to find an angle θ in the interval [0°, 90°] that satisfies each condition. Example 4 USING INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS TO FIND ANGLES (a) Use degree mode and the inverse sine function. (b) Use the identity
14
Caution Note that the reciprocal is used before the inverse trigonometric function key when finding the angle, but after the trigonometric function key when finding the trigonometric function value.
