First look only at
That asks: What angle between 0 and 360 has for its cosine?
It's a NEGATIVE cosine and the cosine is negative only in QII and QIII.
So it's got to be one of these two:
The first one is the PRINCIPLE value, since it has the lesser absolute
value. (The shorter red arc). So we calculate the other side of the triangle
for the first one, using the Pythagorean theorem:
We choose the positive sign, since it goes up.
That's the picture of
And we want
Since we know that ,
the answer is
.
