When I done it I done: sin(60+theta) = sin(90-theta) 60+theta = 90-theta Then solved to get theta = 15
How do I do the arcsin in this case?
When you go from line 1 to line 2 (bold) you take inverse sin or arcsin. sin has a restricted domain to make it invertible so when you do the inverse its got multiple solutions. As an example sin(x) = sin(90-x) is obviously satisfied by x=45 so sin(x) = 1/sqrt(2) but also by x=225 https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bybfbtk8ci when sin(x)=-1/sqrt(x).
arcsin is has a range -90 to 90 and you have to explcitly think about solutions outside that domain.

Thank you I have got the right answer now. I had to add 180 each time, which makes sense now I look at the ATSC diagram

Thats correct, solutions occur every +/-k*180. Its down to the +/- solutions rather than the usual positive or negative symmetry in the cast diagram. As noted above you could do the angle addition identity and that would come out as tan() = ... and obv tan solutions repeat every 180.
