Tangent, Sine, or Inverse?

Determine whether one would use sine, tangent, inverse sine, or inverse tangent to solve for the missing measure.

Answer explanation

Use inverse sine or inverse tangent when finding an angle from known side lengths. Use sine for opposite/hypotenuse, tangent for opposite/adjacent. Choose based on the given sides to find the missing measure.

Determine whether one would use sine, tangent, inverse sine, or inverse tangent to solve for the missing measure.

Answer explanation

Use inverse sine when you know the opposite side and the hypotenuse to find the angle. Use inverse tangent when you know the opposite and adjacent sides. For missing measures, identify the known sides to choose correctly.

Determine whether one would use sine, tangent, inverse sine, or inverse tangent to solve for the missing measure.

Answer explanation

Use inverse sine (sin⁻¹) when you know the opposite side and the hypotenuse, and need to find the angle. Use inverse tangent (tan⁻¹) when you know the opposite and adjacent sides to find the angle.
