More terms will increase accuracy. The larger the angle, the more terms are needed to get acceptable accuracy. As a rough guide use 3 terms for every 10° to get an accuracy of at least 1 decimal digit.

See above for method of obtaining arcsin. This may be useful when using the Law of Cosines to find the measure of an unknown angle, given three known sides.
