Math.asin(0.5) β‰ˆ 0.524 Radians

πŸ“– Usage Example
// Inverse sine β€” result in radians
Math.asin(0)   // β†’ 0
Math.asin(1)   // β†’ 1.5707... (Ο€/2)

Use Math.asin() to find the angle (in radians) whose sine equals a given value.

Math.asin(x)

Math.asin(0.5) returns approximately 0.5236 radians (30Β°).

Challenge: Compute and verify Math.asin(0.5).

πŸ’‘ Hints (2)
  • β€’ sin(30Β°) = 0.5, so asin(0.5) = Ο€/6 β‰ˆ 0.5236
  • β€’ Multiply by 180/Math.PI to convert to degrees
