Given:


sin\theta=(2√(3))/(5),\text{ and }(\pi)/(2)<\theta<\pi

It's required to find cos 2θ.

We use the formula:


cos(2\theta)=1-2sin^2\theta

Substituting:


cos(2\theta)=1-2((2√(3))/(5))^2

Operating:


\begin{gathered} cos(2\theta)=1-2*(4*3)/(25) \\ cos(2\theta)=1-(24)/(25) \\ cos(2\theta)=(1)/(25) \end{gathered}

Answer: 1/25
