Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

We have:


(\sqrt3)/(\sin(\theta))=2

And we want to find two different angles between 0 and 180 that satisfy this equation.

First, let's get our sine out of the denominator. Notice that this is the same as:


(\sqrt3)/(\sin(\theta))=(2)/(1)

Cross-multiply:


2\sin(\theta)=√(3)

Divide both sides by 2:


\sin(\theta)=(√(3))/(2)

Here you go! I'll have the answer for you if you scroll down, so check it when you're ready!

#2 is correct. However, double check #3. The answer's down there too... :)

Answer for 1)

We have:


\sin(\theta)=√(3)/2

So, at what points between 0 and 180 does sine equal √3/2?

If we refer to the unit circle, we can see that this happens twice: at 60.

Thus, the second time it occurs will be at 180-60 or 120.

So:


\theta=60\textdegree\text{ or } 120\textdegree

Answer for 3)

So you are correct for the first three. So:


\sin(54)=t

However, sine stays positive. So, our angle must be between 0 and 180.

So, instead of 180+54, it should be 180-54, giving us:


\sin(54)=\sin(126)=t
