Your question is confusing. The arcsine function takes a numeric value, NOT an angle. It returns an angle, which you can then feed into the sine function, which should give you your starting value again, as sine and arcsine are inverse functions.

the answer won't be in radians. the sin of the arcsin will just be the value that you started with. (note: the arcsin of the sin won't necessarily be the same angle)

The arcsine of an angle doesn't compute.
You are basically going backwards then forwards, so you should just get the answer you started with.

OK...let's see
Theta = angle (in degrees)
sin (theta) = Y (a value between -1 and 1)
if you have an angle in radians, you can convert to degrees using the following: theta(in degrees) / 180 * pi
(recall...180 degrees is equal to pi radians).
Hope this explanation helps you.

use a calculator? yeah, that's about it.
