to find the measure of an angle.

EX: if sin A = 0.1234, then inv sin (0.1234) will give you the measure of angle A

When do i use negative sin cos or tan?

The inverse (negatives) of sine, cosine, and tangent are used to calculate the angle theta (or whatever you choose to name it). Initially it is taught that opposite over hypotenuse is equal to the sine of theta sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse So it can be said that theta = sin-1 (opp/hyp) This works the same way with cosine and tangent In short the inverse is simply what you use when you move the sin, cos, or tan to the other side of the equation generally to find the angle


What is a sohcahtoa useful for?

A way to remember the definitions of the three most common trigonometry functions: sin, cos and tan. Used as a memory aid for the definitions of the three common trigonometry functions sine, cosine and tangent.


What is sine in math?

Sine is a law in math that helps you find the length or angles in a triangle.Sin Equals:1/YLaw of Sines:Sin A/a = SinB/b = SinC/cCosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant are also used to find sides and angles of a triangle.


How is tangent used in life?

When an object is in orbit of another, its direction can be determined by drawing a tangent along its orbit.


Why Sine and Cosine are always less then 1?

That is not correct: they are always LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL to 1. They are also always greater-or-equal to minus 1.The fact that this is so follows directly from the definition. Two different definitions are commonly used:1) The sine is the y-coordinate of a unit circle (a circle of radius 1, with center at coordinates (0, 0)). The cosine is the x-coordinate of the same circle. The highest point on the circle has the y-coordinate 1 (at 90 degrees).2) In a right triangle, the sine is the side opposite to the angle considered, divided by the hypothenuse. The hypothenuse is of course longer than the other sides (except in the extreme case of 0 or 90 degree angles - this would not be properly called a triangle).
