If sin θ = -1/2 for 0 < θ < 360°, the value of θ is

A.

30° and 150°

B.

150° and 210°

C.

210° and 330°

D.

150° and 330°

Correct Answer: 210° and 330°

Explanation

sin θ = -1/2 = -0.5 θ = sin-1 (0.5) θ = 30° Since θ is negative θ = 180 + 30 = 210° θ = 360 - 30 = 330° ∴θ = 210° and 330°

sin θ = -1/2 = -0.5 θ = sin-1 (0.5) θ = 30° Since θ is negative θ = 180 + 30 = 210° θ = 360 - 30 = 330° ∴θ = 210° and 330°
