19 Here is the graph of \(y = \sin x^\circ\) for \(-180 \leqslant x \leqslant 180\)

(a) Use the graph to find estimates for the solutions of
\(\sin x^\circ = 0.3\) for \(-180 \leqslant x \leqslant 180\) (2)
\(\sin x^\circ = 0.3\) for \(-180 \leqslant x \leqslant 180\) (2)
(b) Write down a value of \(x\) such that
\(\sin(x + 20)^\circ = 0\) for \(-180 \leqslant x \leqslant 180\) (1)
\(\sin(x + 20)^\circ = 0\) for \(-180 \leqslant x \leqslant 180\) (1)
