    ::右三角形的腿能测量2个单位和23个单位。三角形的急性角的度量是多少?

    Inverse of Trigonometric Functions
    ::三角函数的逆函数

    W e have used the trigonometric functions sine, cosine and tangent to find the ratio of particular sides in a right triangle given an angle. In this concept we will use the inverses of these functions, sin 1 , cos 1 and tan 1 , to find the angle measure when the ratio of the side lengths is known. When we type sin 30 into our calculator, the calculator goes to a table and finds the trig ratio associated with 30 , which is 1 2 . When we use an inverse function we tell the calculator to look up the ratio and give us the angle measure. For example: sin 1 ( 1 2 ) = 30 . On your calculator you would press 2 N D SIN to get SIN 1 ( and then type in 1 2 , close the parenthesis and press ENTER. Your calculator screen should read SIN 1 ( 1 2 ) when you press ENTER.
    ::我们使用三角函数正弦、正弦和正弦来查找右三角形中特定边边的比例。 在这个概念中, 我们将使用这些函数的反函数, sin-1、 cos-1 和 tan-1, 以找到边长比的角度量。 当我们在计算器中输入 sin\\ 30 时, 计算器会进入一个表格, 并找到与 30 相关的三角比, 也就是 12 。 当我们使用反函数时, 我们告诉计算器来查看这个比例, 并给出角度量。 例如 : sin- 1 {( 12) =30 。 在您的计算器上, 您可以按 2NDSIN 键以获得 SIN-1 ( 并在 12 键上输入), 关闭括号并按 ENTER 键。 您按 ENTER 时, 您的计算器屏幕应该读 SIN-1( 12) 。

    Let's find the measure of angle A associated with the following ratios and round answers to the nearest degree .
    ::让我们找到角度A的量度 与以下比率和圆形答案相关 到最接近的程度。

    1. sin A = 0.8336
      ::A=0.8336
    2. tan A = 1.3527
      ::泰纳=1.3527
    3. cos A = 0.2785
      ::COS=0.2785 COS=0.2785

    Using the calculator we get the following:
    ::使用计算器,我们得到以下数据:

    1. sin 1 ( 0.8336 ) 56
      :sad0.8336) 56
    2. tan 1 ( 1.3527 ) 54
      ::~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    3. cos 1 ( 0.2785 ) 74
      :sad0.2785)74

    Now, let's find the measures of the unknown angles in the triangle shown and round answers to the nearest degree.
    ::现在,让我们来看看三角形中 未知角度的度量 以及最接近的圆形答案

     We can solve for either x or y first. If we choose to solve for x first, the 23 is opposite and 31 is adjacent so we will use the tangent ratio.
    ::我们可以先解决 x 或 y 先解决。 如果我们选择先解决 x 先解决, 23 是相反的, 31 是相邻的, 所以我们将使用正切比 。

    x = tan 1 ( 23 31 ) 37 .

    ::X=tan-1(2331)37。

    Recall that in a right triangle, the acute angles are always complementary, so 90 37 = 53 , so y = 53 . We can also use the side lengths an a trig ratio to solve for y :
    ::回顾在右三角形中, 急性角度总是互补的, 所以 903753, 所以y=53。 我们也可以使用侧边长度一个三重比来解答 y:

    y = tan 1 ( 31 23 ) 53 .

    ::y'tan -1(3123) 53。

    Finally, let's solve the right triangle shown below and round all answers to the nearest tenth.
    ::最后,让我们解开下面显示的右三角形, 将所有答案转到最近的第十个答案 。

    We can solve for either angle A or angle B first. If we choose to solve for angle B first, then 8 is the hypotenuse and 5 is the opposite side length so we will use the sine ratio.
    ::我们可以首先解决角度 A 或角度 B 。 如果我们选择先解决角度 B , 那么8 是 下限, 5 是 反侧长度, 所以我们将使用正弦比例 。

    sin B = 5 8 m B = sin 1 ( 5 8 ) 38.7

    ::B=58m_B=sin_1}(58)_38.7

    Now we can find A two different ways.
    ::现在我们可以找到两种不同的方式。

    Method 1: We can using trigonometry and the cosine ratio:

    cos A = 5 8 m A = cos 1 ( 5 8 ) 51.3

    ::方法1:我们可以使用三角测量法和余弦比:cosA=58mA=cos-1(58)51.3

    Method 2: We can subtract m B from 90 : 90 38.7 = 51.3 since the acute angles in a right triangle are always complimentary.
    ::方法2:我们可以从 90\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    Either method is valid, but be careful with Method 2 because a miscalculation of angle B would make the measure you get for angle A incorrect as well.
    ::这两种方法都有效,但对于方法2要小心,因为对角度B的误算会使对角度A的测量也错误。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to find  the measures of the triangle's acute angles. 
    ::早些时候,有人要求你 找到三角形的急性角度的测量结果

    First, let's find the hypotenuse, then we can solve for either angle.
    ::首先,让我们找到低温, 然后我们可以解决两个角度。

    2 2 + ( 2 3 ) = c 2 4 + 12 = c 2 16 = c 2 c = 4

    ::22+(23)=c24+12=c216=c2c=4

    One of the acute angles will have a sine of 2 4 = 1 2 .
    ::一个急性角度的正弦值为 24=12。

    sin A = 1 2 m A = sin 1 1 2 = 30

    ::A=12m_A=sin_1_12=30_BAR__BAR_A=sin_1_12=30_BAR_A=sin_1_A=sin_12=30_BAR_

    Now we can find B by subtracting m A from 90 : 90 30 = 60 since the acute angles in a right triangle are always complimentary.
    ::现在我们可以通过从 90 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
