How to apply the inverse of tangent to find the missing values of your triangle

The video tutorial focuses on finding angle B in a triangle. It begins by identifying the relevant sides: hypotenuse, adjacent, and opposite. The instructor explains the choice of the tangent function for calculation, as it involves the opposite and adjacent sides. The process of calculating angle B using the inverse tangent of the ratio of the opposite to adjacent sides is demonstrated. The tutorial concludes with guidance on rounding the result appropriately.
