Question 1182209: If θ is in quadrant 2, what angle θ would satisfy the equation sinθ = 12?
30 degrees

150 degrees

135 degrees

45 degrees
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the absolute value of sin(theta) can never be greater than absolute value of 1.

the possible values for the angles you are given would be.

sin(30) = 1/2
if the angle were in the second quarter, it would be equal to 180 minus 30 = 150

sin(45) = sqrt(2)/2
if the angle were in the second quarter, it would be equal to 180 minus 45 = 135.

it looks like you might have meant 1/2 rather than 12.

if so, then your answer is 150 degrees.
