You can put this solution on YOUR website!
tanA=(-2/3) and 90 degrees < A < 180 degrees, find sin A.
===========================
Use the inverse tangent button on your calculator to get:
tan^-1(-2/3) = -33.69.. degree.
----------------
Then, since tangent is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrants",
add 180 degrees to -33.69... to get 146.31 degrees.
==================
