Lesson 12.1-12.2 Inverse Trig Functions SWBAT use the inverse of sin, cos and tan to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle.
It is possible to determine the size of either acute angle in a right triangle if you know the lengths of any 2 sides of that triangle. To do this, you use the inverse function sin -1 cos -1 tan -1 Find them on your calculator – you must push the 2nd button first Trig – Inverse Functions • Anytime you use INVERSE trig you are findingan ANGLE
Let’s look at some examples • Example 1: solve for x To get x alone you do the opposite of tan/sin/cos which is the inverse – tan-1 /sin-1/cos-1 Don’t forget the degree sign
Let’s look at some examples • Example 2: solve for x To get x alone you do the opposite of tan/sin/cos which is the inverse – tan-1 /sin-1/cos-1
Story Problems • Step 1 – Write an equation that represents the trig ratio. • Step 2 – Find the angle that has an approximate tangent value of (8/15) using your calculator (inverse tangent). • When using your calculator, calculate the inverse tan – (2nd, tan, 8/15, enter). Or you can use your trig table sheet, working backwards. (in the tan column look for the value of 8/15 ( . 5333 ), once you find it look back to the angle measure for that value) 8 in (opp) x 15 in ( adj )
Inverse Functions • Ex 4. • Step 1 – • Step 2 - x 18 cm 15 cm
