Trigonometric Functions and Angles

This video tutorial explains how to use trigonometric functions to determine the measure of an angle in a right triangle. It covers the sine, cosine, and tangent functions, demonstrating how to solve for an angle using each function with examples. The tutorial also shows how to use a calculator to find inverse trigonometric values and convert between degrees and radians.
