A student writes: "If sinA=sinB\sin A = \sin B, then A=BA = B (for real A,BA, B in radians)." This inference is not valid in general because sin\sin is not one-to-one on R\mathbb{R}.

Which one of the following extra conditions, if imposed on AA and BB, is sufficient to make the student's inference valid?
