Answer by AnlytcPhil(1806) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I see what you did. On your calculator, you typed this:

cos^-1(�(2/3))

and got .6154797087

when you should have typed this instead:

cos^-1(�(2)/3)

and gotten 1.079913649

It's "the square root of two" divided by three,

NOT "the square root of two-thirds"
