The video tutorial explains how to find the angle using the sine inverse function. It starts by understanding the problem and what needs to be evaluated. The process involves using the unit circle to find the angle that satisfies the sine equation. Restrictions are applied to ensure the angle is within the correct range, specifically between -π/2 and π/2. The tutorial concludes with tips on how knowing the unit circle can speed up solving similar problems.
