Question

(attempt inside) "If sin Theta > 0 and tan Theta = -.24 find the value of Theta"

Answer 1

Tan Theta = -0.24
atan (-0.24)
= -13.75°
Did I do this correctly?

Answer 2

Yep

Answer 3

But if I take the sine of -13.75 degrees, it's less than 0. @FutureMathProfessor

Answer 6

in 2nd quadrant sin is positive tan is negative.

Answer 7

So how would I go about changing the angle so it's in the second quadrant? would it be -1(180 - theta)? @surjithayer

Answer 8

sin(180-theta)=sin theta
tan(180-theta)=-tan theta

Answer 9

Thanks! Best metal!
