you are very welcome

the most important thing to remember is that you use inverse trig when you want to find an angle!

$$\\If cos \theta = 0.34\\
then\\
\theta = inverse\; cos\; of\; 0.34\\
$Inverse cos of 0.34 is often written as $cos^{-1}(0.34)\\
$Arc cos is exactly the same as inverse cos so on the web2.0calc this can be entered as $
[2nd][acos](0.34)=$$

 

I am just typing into the input box so i dont need the [2nd] I will enter     acos(0.34)=

 

$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{cos}}^{\!\!\mathtt{-1}}{\left({\mathtt{0.34}}\right)} = {\mathtt{70.123\: \!125\: \!929\: \!921^{\circ}}}$$
