Exercise 3 Page 503

A calculator can be used to find the degree measure of an angle with a given trigonometric ratio. To do so, push 2ND followed by SIN, COS, or TAN. Finally, introduce the value of the given ratio and push ENTER.

23.3^(∘)

Practice makes perfect
We can use a calculator to find the degree measure of an angle with a given tangent ratio. To do so, we first push 2ND followed by TAN. Finally, introduce the value of the given ratio and push ENTER. Make sure to always check that the calculator is in the correct mode. In this case, we need degrees.
