This example demonstrates how to find the acute angles in a right triangle using inverse trigonometric functions. Key concepts include inverse cosine and sine functions. Using GeoGebra commands such as Random, Circle, and Intersect, a random right triangle is generated and its acute angles are calculated. Suitable for middle school and above students or teachers.
