Answer

$\theta=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse})$

Work Step by Step

The trigonometric ratios are as follows: $ \sin \theta =\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse} $ Suppose $\theta =\sin^{-1} [\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse} ]$ Now, $\sin \theta =\sin [\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse})]$ Thus, we have $\theta=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse})$
