Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Angle θ = B

Adjacent Leg = 4

Hypotenuse = 5

Step 2: Solve for θ

  1. Substitute in variables [cosine]:
    \displaystyle cosB^\circ = (4)/(5)
  2. [Equality Property] Trig inverse:
    \displaystyle B^\circ = cos^(-1)((4)/(5))
  3. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle B = 36.8699^\circ
  4. Round:
    \displaystyle B \approx 36.87^\circ
