Find θ, 0° ≤ θ < 360°, given the following information.
cos θ = − squr(3)/2 and θ in QII
------
Sketch a 30-60 degree right triangle
Let the side opposite the 30 deg angle be 1
Then the hypotenuse is 2
And the base is sqrt(3)
----
So the cos(30) = sqrt(3)/2
------
For your problem the reference angle is arccos(sqrt(3)/2) = 30 degrees
----
In QII theta = 180+30 = 210 degrees
