Trig Help Please! If I wanted to find B in degrees in this equation (sin B= .9677), how would I do this using a ti-83 calculator? I know the answer, I just don't know how to calculate it.

OpenStudy (thecuteone25):

are you all in school or on winter break

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Winter break...just catching up!

OpenStudy (thecuteone25):

sorry it's of topic

OpenStudy (thecuteone25):

ok now I will help you

OpenStudy (meehan98):

lol thanks!

OpenStudy (retireed):

So it is most like a MODE setting issue. Do you wan the answer in degrees or radians?

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Degrees

OpenStudy (meehan98):

B should be 75.4 degrees but I don't believe I use the DMS function

OpenStudy (retireed):

I have a TI-84+ but I thinks they are very similar. Try this first.... push the 2nd button then SIN then enter your number 0.9677 okay?

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Okay, I received 1.32

OpenStudy (retireed):

Your degree number for B is correct. And the answer you got is in radians, so we need to change your MODE.

OpenStudy (retireed):

Do you see a MODE button next to the 2ND button?

OpenStudy (meehan98):

Ah, I got It! Thank you!! I knew that at one point in time, just forgot!

OpenStudy (retireed):

Great! Have fun with school. It really beats working!
