Calculating Angles from Ratios (Words to -1 Notation) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on trigonometry, specifically how to calculate angles from given trigonometric ratios using inverse notation (indicated by -1). The problems involve presenting a trigonometric function value (cosine, sine, or tangent) and asking the learner to determine the corresponding angle using inverse trigonometric functions, which is represented in various mathematical expressions as answers.
