What I Can Do
1. Triangle ABC has a right angle at C. Next, side AB=7m and side CB=4m. Using inverse
trigonometric functions, find the degree measures of angle B and angle A.

For ∠A:
Opposite (o) = 7m
Hypotenuse (h) = 4m
∠A (θ) = ?
solution:
θ = sin⁻¹ (o / h)
θ = sin⁻¹ (4 / 7)
θ = 34.85°

For ∠B:
Adjacent (a) = 4m
Hypotenuse (h) = 7m
∠B (θ) = ?
Solution:
θ = cos⁻¹ (a / h)
θ = cos⁻¹ (4 / 7)
θ = 55.15°

answers:
∠A=34.85°
∠B=55.15°
