Calculating Angles from Ratios (Words) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on trigonometry, specifically teaching students how to calculate angles from given trigonometric ratios using cosine (cos), sine (sin), and tangent (tan). The problems are structured to help students identify angles using algebraic expressions presented with each trigonometric function's value. Possible answers for each question are listed with varying angle degrees, challenging students to correctly apply trigonometric concepts to find the appropriate angle. This is an introductory level module suitable as an early exploration into the fundamentals of trigonometry.
