Step-by-step explanation:
sin ∅ = -(√3)/2
Note that
cos²∅ + sin²∅ = 1
cos²∅ = 1 – sin²∅
= 1 – (-√3 / 2)²
= 1 – (-√3)²/ 2²
= 1 – 3/4
= 1/4
cos²∅ = 1/4
Taking square root of both sides
cos∅ = 1/2
Note that tan∅ = sin∅/cos∅
therefore, tan∅ = -(√3)/2 ÷ 1/2
= -(√3)/2 × 2/1
= -√3
tan∅ = -√3
Since sin∅ = -√3 /2
Then ∅ = -60⁰
The value of ∅ for the given range (third quadrant) is 240⁰.
NB: sin∅ = sin(180-∅)
Also, since 180⁰ is π radians, then ∅ = 4π/3
