there is no direct calculation solution (it's an infinite series)
use a calculator ... sin^-1 or arcsin
or a table
12/16 = 3/4 = .75 ... remember, sine is positive in Quad I and II
Hello! I am just wondering the steps to solve this equation?
Given sin α = n/m where n = 12 inches and m = 16 inches, solve for α to the nearest degree.
So it would be Sin(a) = 12/16, however, I'm unsure on how to solve for the degree a. Any help is appreciated!
