Arc Trigonometric Functions
Arc trigonometric functions, the inverse of
trigonometric functions, are used to determine an
angle from ratios of a right triangle.
The combinations of the three sides are sin
-1
, cos
-1
,
and tan
-1
. Their relations are;
(arc sine) Determines an angle based on the ratio
b/a of two sides of a right triangle.
(arc cosine) Determines an angle based on the ratio
c/a for two sides of a right triangle.
(arc tangent) Determines an angle based on the
ratio b/c for two sides of a right triangle.

to climb 80 meters in 100 meters?
