..
The first thing to remember is that the inverse of a trig function is always equal to some angle. So, for the given sin inverse, it is asking the question:
What angle will make the sin function=sqrt(2)/2, and you know the sin of 45 deg is sqrt(2)/2. The answer to the problem , then, is cos 45 deg which also happens to be sqrt(2)/2.
