1. Find the acute angle whose sine is $0.6$.

sin⁡θ=0.6\sin \theta = 0.6

θ=sin⁡−1(0.6)=36.869…∘\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.6) = 36.869\ldots^\circ

2. Find the second possible angle where sine is positive.

Since sine is positive in the first and second quadrants,

second angle =180∘−36.869…∘=143.130…∘= 180^\circ - 36.869\ldots^\circ = 143.130\ldots^\circ.

So the two possible angles are 36.9∘36.9^\circ and 143.1∘143.1^\circ, correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer

36.9∘36.9^\circ and 143.1∘143.1^\circ
