Today’s Question:
How do we use trig ratios to find the missing sides and angles of a triangle?

4. Finding a missing angle
Finding a missing angle. (Figuring out which ratio to use and an inverse trig button.)

5. Ex: 1. Figure out which ratio to use. Find x
Ex: 1 Figure out which ratio to use. Find x. Round to the nearest tenth. O
20 m
40 m A x
Shrink yourself down and stand where the angle is.
Identify the given sides as H, O, or A.
What trig ratio is this?
