First make sure your calculator is in 'Degree Mode (D)'.

Then using the 'Inverse' of 'Sin' , shown as 'ArcSin' or ' Sin^(-1)' . enter '0.5', followed by '=' . The answer should be '30' ( 30 degrees).

How do you find a cotangent?

Cotangent is ' 1/tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine'.


A tree 40 feet high casts a shadow 58 feet long find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sum?

To find the angle of elevation of the sun, we can use the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side (height of the tree) divided by the adjacent side (length of the shadow). So, tan(angle) = height of the tree / length of the shadow. Plugging in the values, we get tan(angle) = 40 / 58. Taking the arctan of both sides gives us the angle, so the angle of elevation of the sun is approximately 33.56 degrees.


How do you solve COS?

To solve for the cosine (COS) of an angle, you can use the unit circle, where the cosine of an angle corresponds to the x-coordinate of the point on the circle at that angle. Alternatively, you can use trigonometric identities or the cosine function on a scientific calculator by inputting the angle in degrees or radians. For specific problem solving, using the cosine rule in triangles may also be applicable to find unknown sides or angles.


How do you use calculator to find cos degrees?

To find the cosine of an angle in degrees using a calculator, first ensure that the calculator is set to degree mode (not radians). Enter the angle in degrees, then press the "cos" button. The calculator will display the cosine value for that angle. For example, to find cos(60°), input 60, select "cos," and the result will be 0.5.


How do you find the measure of an angle by using its tangent?

You would have to use its opposite tangent, tan-1on your scientific calculator. It would be tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side), and you must have the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle you are trying to solve.

How do you use sine cosine and tangent?

They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.

How do you know when to use tangent cosine or sine?

It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
