Find the missing Angle

Question Description

These are the four steps we need to follow:

Step 1 Find which two sides we know – out of Opposite, Adjacent and Hypotenuse.
Step 2 Use SOHCAHTOA to decide which one of Sine, Cosine or Tangent to use in this question.
Step 3 For Sine calculate Opposite/Hypotenuse, for Cosine calculate Adjacent/Hypotenuse or for Tangent calculate Opposite/Adjacent.
Step 4 Find the angle from your calculator, using one of sin-1, cos-1 or tan-1

Example

Find the size of angle a0

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:

cos a0 = 6,750/8,100 = 0.8333

cos-1 of 0.8333 = 33.60 (to 1 decimal place)

Example #1

Find the missing angle when you are given the following dimensions.

BC = 3; AC = 16; AB = 8, Cos ? = 3/16

Explanation

The missing value is x than Cos 3 / 16

Cos x = 0.2

x = Cos-1 0.2

x = 78.5

Answer = 78.50

Practice Problem #1:

Find the missing angle:

BC = 10 ; AC = 18 ; AB = 7, Sin__?__ = 7 / 18

Explanation #1

The missing value is x than Sin 7 / 18

Sin x = 0.4

x = Sin-1 0.4

x = 23.60

Answer = 23.60

Practice Problem #2)

Find the missing angle:

BC = 24 ; AC = 13 ; AB = 4, tan_?___ = 13 / 24

Explanation #2

The missing value is x than tan 13 / 24

tan x = 0.5

x = tan-1 0.5

x = 26.60

Answer = 26.60

Practice Problem #3)

Find the missing angle:

BC = 18 ; AC = 33 ; AB = 15, Cos__?__ = 18 / 33

Explanation #3

The missing value is x than Cos 18 / 33

Cos x = 0.5

x = Cos-1 0.5

x = 600

Answer = 600
