arcsin

The function I need to perform is:
NPC Code:
arcsin(tan(30°))


But of course the graal engine doesn't supply both the arcsin and tan functions.
I found that:
NPC Code:
arcsin = arctan(x / (1 - x * x)^.5);



So what I have ended up with is:
NPC Code:
tan = sin(30)/cos(30); // tan(a) = sin(a)/cos(a)
val = arctan(tan / (1 - tan * tan)^.5);



But in (1 - tan * tan)^.5 I keep getting a negative value and because it's in a square root it's undefined.
The value I'm looking for is +/- 35.264° and I'm at a point where I am quite stuck at the moment.
Would anyone be able to help with this?
