Exploring Right Triangle Trigonometry and Missing Angles

This video tutorial covers solving for missing angles in right triangle trigonometry. It explains how to use sine, tangent, and cosine functions to find angles, specifically focusing on the angle Theta. The tutorial demonstrates the use of inverse trigonometric functions and provides step-by-step instructions for using a calculator to find the angle in degrees. The video includes three examples, each using a different trigonometric function, to illustrate the process of solving for angles in right triangles.
