Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify

Angle θ = ∠R

Opposite Leg of ∠R = 10√3

Hypotenuse = 20

Step 2: Solve

  1. Substitute in variables [sine]:
    \displaystyle sin(R^\circ) = (10√(3))/(20)
  2. [Equality Property] Trig inverse:
    \displaystyle R^\circ = sin^(-1)((10√(3))/(20))
  3. Evaluate trig:
    \displaystyle R = 60^\circ
