If the seconds is greater than or equal to `30”`, round the minute up.
If the seconds is less than `30”`, round the minute down.To solve for `theta`, it has to be alone on one side of the equation.We can do this by getting the inverse of `sin`.`sin theta` `=` `8/10` `theta` `=` `sin^(-1)` `8/10` Now, follow these steps to evaluate `sin^(-1)` `8/10` using your calculator.`1.` Press Shift or 2nd F (depending on your calculator)`2.` Press `sin``3.` Press `8``4.` Press `divide``5.` Press `10``6.` Press `=`This will give a result of `53.1301°`.To round off the result to the nearest minute, press the DMS button and check the seconds value.`53.1301°=53°7’``43.37”`Since `43.37”` is greater than `30”`, we can round the minute up to `53°8’`.`theta=53°8’` -
