Question 852594: suppose sin of theta equals 5/8 and tan of theta is negative. sketch the approximate angle of rotation theta. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! suppose sin of theta equals 5/8 and tan of theta is negative. sketch the approximate angle of rotation theta.
-----
If sin is positive and tan is negative, theta is in QII.
---
Reference angle = arcsin(5/8) = 38.68 degrees
----
Ans: 180-38.68 = 141.32 degrees
