Question

How do I solve with a calculator: Sin(theta)=0.25

Answer 1

arcsin(0.25)

Answer 2

the same as sin^(-1)

Answer 3

the answer I get is .25 the answer is says is correct is 14.5 and 165.5???Im confused

Answer 4

\[\sin(\theta)=0.25\]
\[\theta=\arcsin\left(0.25\right)\]

The answer in degrees is 14.5

Answer 6

The answer you get is in radians, which is also correct

Answer 7

I get the 14.5 answer but what about the 165.5?

Answer 8

Think of it as a measurement of a triangle, you can go both the minus way and the positive way it doesn't matter. So if you get the angle 14.5 degrees there also the angle -14.5 which can be expressed as 180-14.5 = 165.5
