what does sin x = sin 60 between 0<x<360 equal? Thank you!
First work out what sin60 equals
Then do sin^-1(answer)

By your question I assume that you actually mean what are the solutions for x?

One solution is x = 60, which should be obvious.
Then draw a sin graph and find the other point in this range where it is at the same height.

You do realise that this would give 60 don't you?

There's more than 1 value because of the range
Yes, but a calculator would only give you one answer.

If you don't fancy the graph method then draw a CAST diagram.

Yes, that is the point of the question ... All your suggestion does is give the original 60 ... It was a pointless suggestion
