Question 312929: find sin 0 if cos 0=-2/3 and 90 degree<0>180 degrees

find sin(w) if cos(w) = -2/3 and 90 degree< w <180 degrees
--------------------------
By definition cos(w) = x/r
---
Since cos(w) = -2/3, x = -2 and r = 3
----
r^2 = x^2 + y^2
9 = (-2)^2 + y^2
y = sqrt(5)
---------------------
By definition sin(x) = y/r
Ans: sin(x) = sqrt(5)/3
