To evaluate sinA = 0.7071 we realize that we are looking for the angle A in radians or in degrees. You will get different answers depending on the angle mode that your calculator is working in: degrees or radians.
In Degrees:
sinA+=+0.7071 Take the sine inverse of both sides
sin%5E-1%28sinA%29+=+sin%5E-1%280.7071%29
A+=+sin%5E-1%280.7071%29
A = 44.9995 degrees
In Radians:
sinA+=+0.7071 Take the sine inverse of both sides
sin%5E-1%28sinA%29+=+sin%5E-1%280.7071%29
A+=+sin%5E-1%280.7071%29
A = 0.7854 radians
