Finding the Degree Measure of an Angle When Given the Trig Value

The video tutorial explains how to find the degree of an angle when the sine of the angle equals 1/2. It emphasizes the importance of memorizing key angles (30, 45, and 60 degrees) and their coordinates on the unit circle. The tutorial guides students on how to determine the angle using the Y coordinate, specifically when it is 1/2, leading to the conclusion that the angle is 30 degrees.
