Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse trigonometric functions, such as sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, and tan⁻¹, are used to find angles when the value of a trigonometric function is known. For example, cos⁻¹(0.45) gives the angle whose cosine is 0.45. Understanding how to use these functions is essential for matching angles with their corresponding function values.

Trigonometric Function Values

Trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) relate angles to ratios of sides in right triangles. Each function has specific values for given angles, which can be approximated using a calculator or trigonometric tables. Recognizing these values is crucial for accurately matching them with their corresponding angles in the problem.

Degrees and Radians

Angles can be measured in degrees or radians, with 180 degrees equal to π radians. In trigonometry, it is important to convert between these two units when necessary, as many functions and calculators may default to one or the other. Understanding this conversion is vital for correctly interpreting and matching angle measures in the given problem.
