Question

How do you get angle x using trigonometry in a right angled triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Example

Step 1 The two sides we know are Adjacent (6,750) and Hypotenuse (8,100).

Step 2 SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Cosine.

Step 3 Calculate Adjacent / Hypotenuse = 6,750/8,100 = 0.8333.

Step 4 Find the angle from your calculator using cos-1 of 0.8333:
