Recall from the topic of inverse of a function which states that an inverse
of a function is a function that reverses the rule of . For a function to have an
inverse, it must be one-to-one.
Let’s compare the functions and whose arrow diagrams are shown in

What is It
The domain of the sine function is the set R of real numbers, and its range is
the closed interval [ ]. As observed in the previous lessons, the sine function is
not one-to-one, and the first step is to restrict its domain (by agreeing what the
convention is) with the following conditions: (1) the sine function is one-to-one in that
restricted domain, and (2) the range remains the same.
The inverse of the (restricted) sine function ( ) where the domain is
restricted to the close interval * +, is called the inverse sine function or arcsine

What’s New
The inverse trigonometric functions are used to determine the angle measure
when at least two sides of a right triangle are known. The particular function that
should be used depends on what two sides are known. For example, if you know the
hypotenuse and the side opposite the angle in question, you could use the inverse
sine function. If you know the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle in
question, the inverse tangent is the function you need.
There are two methods for determining an inverse trigonometric function. The
first is by using a table containing all the results for every ration. It can be tedious
and cumbersome. The other is using scientific calculator. The inverse for the sine,
cosine, and tangent can be determined quickly.
In this lesson, trigonometric functions have practical uses in navigation,
physics, engineering and other sciences through presenting different worded
problems.
What is It

We will use our previous knowledge about the topics on evaluating inverse
trigonometric functions and trigonometric equations in solving several worded
problems and other applications.

A. Application of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
1. A tower 28.4 feet high, must be secured with a guy wire anchored 5 feet from
the base of the tower. What angle will the guy wire make with the ground?
5 ft
We need to find the angle of the ground that the guy wire will make.
Solution:
Therefore, the guy wire will position at an angle of from the base of the tower.
2. The base of a ladder is placed 3 feet away from a 10-foot-high wall, so the top
of the ladder meets the top of the wall. What is the measure of the angle
formed by the ladder and the ground?
21
Solution:
Here we have a right triangle where we know the lengths of the two legs, that
is, the sides opposite and adjacent to the angle. So, we use the inverse tangent
function.
3. A boat is docked at the end of a 10-foot pier. The boat leaves the pier and
drops anchor 230 feet away 3 feet straight out from the shore (which is
perpendicular to the pier). What was the bearing of the boat from a line drawn
from the end of the pier through the foot of the pier?

Solution:
Thus, the bearing of the boat from a line drawn from the end of the pier through the
foot of the pier is

4. The height of a ski slope is 16 meters and the length is 20 meters. Find the
measure of the angle giving the answer to two decimal places.
Solution:
Here, we know the lengths of the opposite and the hypotenuse and, therefore, need
to use the sine ration to find the measure of the unknown angle.

2. A lighthouse at sea level is 34 mi from a boat. It is known that the top of the
lighthouse is 42.5 mi from the boat and that , where is the
horizontal distance, is the distance of the top of the lighthouse from the boat,
and is the angle of depression from the top of lighthouse. Find .
Solution:
( )
For this case, we used a calculator to find the value of the unknown variable
It is known that City A is 140 miles from City C, while City B is 210 miles from
City C. City A and B are √ miles apart. Also, by the Cosine Law, we have
