How do you calculate the angle of elevation using a right triangle?

Back

Use the tangent function: tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent. Rearranging gives angle = arctan(opposite/adjacent).

What is the relationship between the angles in a triangle and the sides opposite those angles?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the side opposite that angle.

What is a valid set of angles that can form a triangle?

Back

A valid set of angles must be positive, less than 180 degrees, and their sum must equal 180 degrees.

What is the significance of a negative angle in triangle construction?

Back

A negative angle indicates an invalid angle for triangle construction, as angles must be positive.
