Best Answer

Using the Sine function

Sin(x) = 0.5

Then x = Sin^(-1)0.5

x = 30 degrees.

Sin^(-1) in the inverse function on you calculator. . It works for Sin , Cosine and Tangent of any angle.

What is the angle that a right angle triangle has?

The angle directly opposite the hypotenuse is always 90o in a right angle triangle and if you know the other sides you can work out the other angles using one of the three trigonometry equations. Sin, Tan or Cos then use the inverse and you will get the degree.
