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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Angle θ = ?

Adjacent Leg = 13

Hypotenuse = 20

Step 2: Find Angle

  1. Substitute in variables [cosine]: cosθ = 13/20
  2. Inverse Trig: θ = cos⁻¹(13/20)
  3. Evaluate: θ = 49.4584°
