Question 1040321: Given csc theta = (2 sqr3)/(3) and -270 less than 0 less than 180
determine the exact values of theta
my work:
(2 sqr3)/3 = 1/sin theta
sin theta * (2sqr3)/3 =1
sin theta = 1/ (2sqr3/3)
sin theta = 3/ (2sqr3)
when I try to find the inverse of sin theta to find the angle, it gives me an error Found 2 solutions by Boreal, MathTherapy:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I would go the other way
csc=2 sqrt(3)/3 is 2/sqrt(3)
Therefore the sin is sqrt (3)/2
That occurs at pi/3 and 2pi/3 on the interval 0 to 2 pi (which covers the above.
With the calculator, try entering 3/(2sqrt(3))
You should get 0.8660.
if you enter 3/2 sqrt(3), the calculator will make that 1.5 *sqrt(3), and you can't take the arc sin of it, because it is greater than 1.

You're on the right track, but need guidance.
You're correct in that: . However, you MUST RATIONALIZE the denominator.
We then get: =====> =====> =======> ======>
Now, this is the answer since the EXACT value is required, and since ,
then is in the 2nd quadrant, where sin is positive (> 0)
