How do I find an angle using tan, with the adjacent and the opposite side lengths?
If I have an adjacent length of 173 and a opposite length of 165?

\(tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\\ tan\theta=\frac{165}{173}\\ \mbox{You are looking for an angle so you have to use inverse tan}\\ \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{165}{173}\\ \mbox{arc tan is the same as inverse tan so this goes in the web2 calc as}\\ atan(165/173)= \)
