If the angle is x radians, then tan(x) = 1/20 = 0.05

So x = tan-1(0.05) = 0.04996 radians = 2.86 degrees (approx)

If the sin 0.58333 what is the angel?

You can calculate that on any scientific calculator. Make sure you put it into the correct angle mode (degrees, or radians, depending on what you need), and press something like "inverse", followed by "sin".In Excel, you can type: =asin(0.58333) That will give you the angle in radians.


What is the cos of angle A?

It is a trigonometric function which converts the angle into a ratio.If the angle A is measured in radians, thencos(A) = 1 - A^2/2! + A^4/4! - a^6/6! + ...

How do you know whether to use sin or cosine?

Here is an 'aide memoire'. SOH, CAH, TOA. Expanding this aide. SOH ; is Sine , Oppositre, and Hypotenuse. CAH ; is Cosibe, Adjacent and Hypotenuse. TOA ; is Tangent, Opposite and Adjacent. To put these in algenraic format . Sine(angle) = opposite / hypotenuse Cosine(angle) = adjcent / hypotenuse Tangent(angle) = opposite/ adjacent. And in algenraic short-hand format. Sin(angle) = O/H Cos(angle) = A/H Tan(angle) = O/A For any given Right-angled triangle, the Hypotenuse is always the side opposite to the right angle. Taking one of the other anglers. Then the Opposite is the side length oppisite to the given angle. Then the Adjacent is the side length to the given angle. NB Taking the third angle, then the opposite(O) and the adjacent(A) ' swop places. The above three equations can all be algebraically rearranged. 'Sine' is shown, bit the other two can also be rearranged. Sin(angle) = O/H H X Sin(angle) = O [Sin(angle)] / O = H Angle = Sin(-1) [O/H] or ArcSin [O/H]. An example A right angled triangle of hypotenuse '2'. and an angle of 30 degrees. Then Sin(30) = O/2 On your calculator ; Sin(30) = 1/2 or 0.5 Substituting. 1/2 = O / 2 Algebraically rearrange O = 2 X 1/2 = 2/2 = 1/1 = 1 So the opposite side is equal to '1'. Correspondingly Sin(angle) = O/H = 1/2 Then Angle = Sin^(-1)[1/2] On your calculator, using the 'inverse/arcsin' button of Sin Then angle = 30 degrees. These work for any Trig. Functions. However, for any given value of an angle, you will have some 'horrible' decimal number. Sin(79) = 0.98167183.... usuallu shortened to 4 d.p. at 0.9817. or 6 d.p. 0.981672 Hope that helps!!!!!

Are hill percentages the same as degrees?

No. A percentage gradient tells you how many you go up or down for every 100 along, for example a gradient of 5% means for every 100m along you go, you will go up or down 5m. Given a percentage gradient, converting it to a decimal (by dividing by 100) will give the TAN of the angle of the slope, for example a gradient of 5% means the angle = arctan(5/100) = arctan(0.05) ~= 2.9o. The 1 in x gradient that tells you for every 1 up or down you go you go x along, for example 1 in 20 means you will go up or down 1 yd for every 20 yds along.


What is the angle between a line of a graph and a positive direction of the x-axis?

The angle is the arc-tan of the gradient of the line. That is to say, the tangent of that angle is the gradient of the line or the angle between the straight line and the positive x-axis. Arc tan may also be written as tan-1 but that is frequently confused with 1/tan or the cotangent function.

What is the angle formed between two lines?

If you know the gradient for a line (the m in y = mx + c) then tan-1 (m) will give you the angle between the line and the x axis. So do tan-1 for both gradients and subtract to find angle between the lines.

Remember the sum of the 3 angles of a triangle = 180degrees Let angle 1 = x angle 2 = 2x angle 3 = x-20 Sum = x + 2x + x - 20 =180o 4x - 20 = 180o 4x = 200o x = 50o 2x = 100 o x - 20 = 30o angle 1 = 50o angle 2 = 100 o angle 3 = 30o


What is the gradient for 2y equals 4x plus 1?

To find the gradient of the equation 2y = 4x + 1, we first need to rewrite it in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the gradient. Dividing by 2 on both sides gives y = 2x + 0.5. Therefore, the gradient is 2.
