Use Trigonometry to Find Unknown Angles (Angles are Measured in Degrees while Sides of Triangle are Given) – Worksheets | Right Triangle Trigonometry Practice

These Use Trigonometry to Find Unknown Angles (Measured in Degrees while Sides of Triangle are Given) Worksheets are designed to help students confidently calculate unknown angles in right triangles using trigonometric ratios. Perfect for Grades 8–11, this resource focuses on applying sine, cosine, and tangent inverse functions when side lengths are provided.

Students will use given triangle sides—opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse—to determine missing angles, ensuring a solid understanding of how trigonometric ratios connect side lengths and angle measures. Each worksheet encourages students to think critically, set up correct ratios, and apply the appropriate inverse trigonometric operation to find angles measured in degrees.
