tan theta = 20/21. Find sin(2theta) if theta is between pi and 2pi/3 PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what Sin(2theta) is equal to. Recall your trig identites.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin theta cos theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good :) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now draw a triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But be careful. It says Theta is between pi and 2pi/3 . Do you know what quadrant that refers to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Third right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 2nd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's 3rd :) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was 4pi/3 in third...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's 2pi/3 :) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh wait!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldn't the 270 degrees be 3pi/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. My mistake XD .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was about to fix that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol everyone makes mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I probably lured you to make the mistake when i first said it was in the 3rd quad
