Put trigonometric ratios into inverse. Scholars learn how to find an unknown angle in a right triangle by using inverse trigonometric ratios. The pupils understand how the inverses undo a trigonometric ratio to provide the angle measure. With the knowledge, they practice finding unknown angles in multiple triangles given lengths of two and three sides.
