Finding Missing Angles in Right Triangles

The video tutorial explains how to use trigonometric functions to find missing angles in right triangles. It covers the use of sine, cosine, and tangent functions, along with their inverse functions, to calculate angles. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples using a calculator to demonstrate the process of finding angles when given the lengths of sides in a right triangle.
