Calculating Angles from Ratios (Arc Notation) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on calculating angles from trigonometric ratios, specifically using the inverse trigonometric functions: arcsine (asin), arctangent (atan), and arccosine (acos). The problems present various trigonometric ratios, and learners must calculate corresponding degrees. Options for each question are given in multiple-choice format. This is part of an introductory unit on trigonometry fundamentals, which teaches how to interpret arc notation and trigonometric calculations. The goal is to enhance understanding of trigonometric relationships and angle calculations.
