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

This math topic focuses on using trigonometric functions to calculate angles from given ratios, primarily using inverse trigonometric functions (arc functions). It covers problems involving the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan) functions, converting specific ratios to angles using arc notation like arcsine (asin), arccosine (acos), and arctangent (atan). Each question in the series offers multiple choices to identify the correct application of these functions, reinforcing understanding of how to correctly interpret trigonometric ratios and calculate corresponding angles.
