I think you mean the concept of inverse trig functions.
Let's just look at one, the inverse cosine function.
cos-1 (x) also called arccos(x) is the inverse of cos(x).

cos-1 (x) <=> x=cos (theta)

So to evaluate an inverse trig function we are ask what angle, theta, did we plug into the trig function (regular, not inverse function) to get x.
So here is one more example.

tan-1 (x) means x=cos (theta)
