Given:


\cos \theta\text{ =- }(1)/(8)

Solving for the angle measure:


\begin{gathered} \theta\text{ = }\cos ^(-1)(-(1)/(8)) \\ =\text{ }97.181 \end{gathered}

Hence, we can find the exact value of sin theta:


\begin{gathered} But\text{ }\theta\text{ is in the third quadrant.} \\ \sin (97.181\text{ -180) = sin(-82.8190}) \\ =\text{ -0.992} \end{gathered}

Hence, the exact value of sin theta is -0.992
