Aim: How do we apply the inverse trig? Objectives: to apply the inverse trig ratios to calculate unknown angles when given side lengths in a right triangle Do Now: In the accompanying diagram, x represents the length of a ladder that is leaning against a wall of a building, and y represents the distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the wall. The ladder makes a 60° angle with the ground and reaches a point on the wall 17 feet above the ground. Find the number of feet in x and y to the nearest hundredth place with and without trig ratios. tan 60 y 17 y 17 9.81 tan 60 17 x x 19.63 sin 60 Since it is a 30-60-90 triangle, we can easily 17 34 determine that y ,x 3 3 Lesson Development: Previously, we used trig ratios to find the missing sides given at least one side and an angle. Now when given at least two sides, we can find the any missing angle in the right triangle. To accomplish that, we need to introduce the inverse trig functions. EX: Find the measure of each missing angle to the nearest degree. Sin A 15 17 A 62 Therefore mB 28 . Show that the angles measures remain the same by using the inverse tangent or cosine function. Make sure the calculator MODE is set to degrees. EX1: Find the value of x to the nearest degree. 420 2000 420 x tan 1 ( ) 12 2000 tan x cos x 3 7 3 x cos 1 ( ) 65 7 EX2: Verify that the two missing angles are 45 . 30 30 1 C tan (1) 45 tan C 30 30 1 A tan (1) 45 tan A EX3: The grade of a road is the ratio of its rise to its run and is usually given as a decimal or percent. Find the angle to the nearest degree that the road makes with the horizontal if the grade is 4%. Let the angle be represented by x, then tan x 0.04 , which gives the angle to be 2 EX4: A rhombus has diagonals of length 4 and 10. The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
