What is sin D ?
sin D =54
sin D =53
sin D =45
sin D =35
If sin D =54 , how can we find angle D ?
D =sin−1(45)
D =sin−1(54)
D =sin(45)
D =cos(45)
What is tan E ?
tan E=45
tan E=43
tan E=53
tan E=54
If tan E=43 , how can we find angle E ?
E=tan−1(53)
E=tan−1(34)
E=tan(43)
E=tan−1(43)
What is cos B ?
cos B =32
cos B =33.61
cos B =3.613
cos B =3.612
If cos B =3.613 , how can we find angle B ?
B =cos−1(32)
B =cos(33.61)
B =cos−1(3.613)
B =tan−1(33.61)
