SOHCAHTOA
sinθ = opp / hyp
cosθ = adj / hyp
tanθ = opp / adj
FIND ANGLE
θ = sin⁻¹(opp/hyp)
θ = cos⁻¹(adj/hyp)
θ = tan⁻¹(opp/adj)
FIND SIDE
opp = hyp · sinθ
adj = hyp · cosθ
opp = adj · tanθ
VALID INPUTS
Sides must be positive and angles must stay between 0° and 90° for these right triangle problems.
For sine and cosine angle finding, the first side must not be bigger than the hypotenuse.

ANGLE EXAMPLE
Given opposite = 3 and hypotenuse = 5
sinθ = 3/5 = 0.6
θ = sin⁻¹(0.6)
θ ≈ 36.87°
COS EXAMPLE
Given adjacent = 4 and hypotenuse = 5
cosθ = 4/5 = 0.8
θ = cos⁻¹(0.8)
θ ≈ 36.87°
SIDE EXAMPLE
Given θ = 30° and hypotenuse = 10
opp = 10 · sin30°
opp = 10 · 0.5
opp = 5
TAN EXAMPLE
Given θ = 45° and adjacent = 7
opp = 7 · tan45°
opp = 7 · 1
opp = 7
