Warm Up Section 8.3 • If name is on the board put HW on the board • Complete the warm up on the board with a partner.
Objectives • To find the angle measures of acute right triangles using the inverse trig functions with real world applications
Calculating Angles from Ratios • In the previous power point we learned how to find a side length give an angle and a sine, cos or tan ratio. • Now we will use the same ratio to find the given angle by using an inverse function.
Calculating Inverse Trig Functions • Calculator needs to be in degree mode. • Push 2nd (sin, cos or tan) • Type in ratio (This should be in fraction form). • Press Enter • You how have angle, round if necessary.
Practice • Use calculator to solve: (Round to nearest tenth) • tan-1(4/5) = • sin-1(1/2) = • cos-1(4/5) = 38.7º 30º 36.9º • cos-1(.67) = • sin-1(.25) = • cos-1(1/2) = • tan-1(1) = 50.0º 14.5º 60º 45º
