Step 1 :\(\text{Solve } \sin x = \sin 282^\circ \text{ for } 0^\circ \leq x \leq 270^\circ\)
Step 2 :\(\text{Use the property of sine function: } \sin(x) = \sin(180 - x) \text{ and } \sin(x) = \sin(360 - x)\)
Step 3 :\(\sin 282^\circ = -0.9781476007338056\)
Step 4 :\(x_1 = 258.0^\circ\)
Step 5 :\(x_2 = 438.0^\circ\)
Step 6 :\(\text{Only } x_1 \text{ is within the given range}\)
Step 7 :\(\boxed{x = 258^\circ}\)
