If sin theta = 2/3, theta lies in quadrant II then sin2 theta =
----
In QII, x is negative and y is positive
-----
By definition, sin = y/r; so, y = 2 and r = 3
----
Then x = -sqrt[3^2-2^2] = -sqrt(5)
-------
sin = 2/3
cos = x/r = -sqrt(5)/3
------
Ans: sin(2*theta) = 2sin(t)*cos(t) = 2(2/3)(-sqrt(5))/3 = -4sqrt(5)/9
