The sine is equal to 1/2 at 30 degrees and at 150 degrees on the interval 0 to 360 degrees, inclusive.

A more general form is:   30 +n360   and    150 + n360 ...   where n is an integer.

In radians, it would be pi/6 and 5*pi/6 with the general form being:

pi/6 + n(2pi)       and     5pi/6 + n(2pi)   ...   where n is an integer.
