Triangle The acronym "SOH-CAH-TOA" is a useful mnemonic for these ratios. The inverse trigonometric functions can be used to calculate the internal angles for a right angled triangle with the length of any two sides. Arcsin can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the opposite side and the length of the hypotenuse. Arccos can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the adjacent side and the length of the hypotenuse. Arctan can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the opposite side and the length of the adjacent side. In introductory
