Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given equation: \(\sin \theta = 0.84802194\) and the interval for \(\theta\) is \([0^\circ, 90^\circ)\).
Recall that the sine function is positive and increasing in the interval \([0^\circ, 90^\circ)\), so there will be exactly one solution in this range.
Use the inverse sine function (arcsin) to find \(\theta\): \(\theta = \arcsin(0.84802194)\).
Make sure your calculator is set to degree mode before calculating \(\arcsin(0.84802194)\) to get the angle in degrees.
Calculate the value of \(\theta\) and round it to six decimal places as required.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Inverse Sine Function (Arcsin)

The inverse sine function, denoted as arcsin or sin⁻¹, is used to find the angle whose sine value is given. For a value y in the range [-1, 1], arcsin(y) returns an angle θ in the interval [-90°, 90°]. This is essential for determining θ when sin θ is known.
