You can do this using the calculator here (I assume the 500 is 500°)

x=sin3601(cos360(500))x=50.000000000002

This is a fourth quadrant value.  Could also have a third quadrant value:

x = 180°+50° = 230°

Check:

sin360(50)=0.766044443119

sin360(230)=0.766044443119

cos360(500)=0.766044443119

(-50° can also be written as 310°)

sin360(310)=0.766044443119
