Just draw the unit circle and joggle a bit then all becomes clear.
sin^1(0.75) means "what angle gives " if you do the unit circle. You'll see that there is in the range degree that gives you that value.
Which is correct depends on what the problem is, what physical situation it is and so on.
=>
x = sin^-1(0.75) = 48.6 _degrees
and

x = sin^-1(0.75) = 131.41_degrees
