You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Take the inverse sin (or arcsin) of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sin%28theta%29+=+1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"asin%28sin%28theta%29%29+=+asin%281%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"theta+=+pi%2F6\"$ (that's 30 degrees)
\n" ); document.write( "But theta also equals
\n" ); document.write( " $\"theta+=+5pi%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then you can add any number of 2 pi to either result...so the complete solution is
\n" ); document.write( "theta = pi/6 + 2kpi
\n" ); document.write( "theta = 5pi/6 + 2kpi
\n" ); document.write( "k being an integer... \n" ); document.write( "
