Will Medal First Answer Can someone explain how inverse sine is used!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inverse sin gives you the angle given sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that

Example: Solve for x in ΔPQR. Round the solution to the nearest hundredth degree. [Image of a right triangle PQR is shown. Angle Q is the right angle. Angle P is x degrees. RQ equals 26. PR equals 47.] sin ∠P = [Image of opposite over hypotenuse] sin x° = [Image of 26 over 47] Divide 26 by 47. sin x° ≈ 0.5531914894 At this point, you will need to use the inverse sine to solve for x, which is the measure of angle P. You may do this by using the inverse sine button on your calculator, which looks like sin−1. sin−1 (sin x°) ≈ sin−1 0.5531914894 Use your calculator to determine the value of sin−1 0.5531914894. Again, some calculators will require you to input sin−1, then 0.5531914894, and finally Enter. Others require you to input 0.5531914894 first and then sin−1. Refer to your calculator's manual or contact your instructor if you need assistance. x ≈ 33.59°

Sin(30 degrees) = 0.5 Sin^-1(0.5) = 30 degrees

that is what i was trying to do, like how to input it into the calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd button sin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or use wolframalpha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used mathway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it gives the answer in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mathway is good, but it gives the answers in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The calc has two modes: degrees and radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on mathway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On a normal calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik that, i am using online calculators

thanks
