\begin{gathered} \frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\text{ is a known value, and the main angle that has:} \\ \sin (\theta)=\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\text{ is }\theta=60\text{ degrees}=(\pi)/(3) \end{gathered}

Then, since arcsin is a function:


\begin{gathered} R\rightarrow\mleft\lbrace-1;\text{ 1}\mright\rbrace \\ We\text{ take only value }\theta=(\pi)/(3),\text{ without the periodic values.} \\ \text{That means,} \\ \arcsin (\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2})=60\text{ degrees= }(\pi)/(3) \end{gathered}
