hi

#

what did you get for A

#

do 180 - that

simple sparrow
#

I'll show you what i did but its wrong

versed sail
simple sparrow
#

Yes

versed sail
#

whats ur answer for part A

simple sparrow
#

It's just a show that Q

#

sinQ = 2/3

versed sail
#

oh ok

#

so

#

so sin(2/3)

#

180 - answer

#

then cos(answer)

simple sparrow
#

that gives you -0.99999

versed sail
#

cos Q is -0.745

versed sail
simple sparrow
#

41.8

versed sail
#

180-41.8

#

= 138.2

simple sparrow
#

138.18

#

yeah

versed sail
#

cos(138.2)

#

=

simple sparrow
#

-0.74

versed sail
#

thats it

simple sparrow
#

I'm confused

#

One sec

simple sparrow
versed sail
#

you just have to know

#

if you want to find the other angle with same value

simple sparrow
#

yeah

versed sail
#

you minus by 180

simple sparrow
#

180 - x

#

BUT

#

Aren't we using cos, hence it would be 360?

versed sail
#

no

#

the sine angle of that question is 41.8

#

so use the sine rule not cosine

simple sparrow
#

oh right makes sense

#

wait so isnt the mark scheme wrong

versed sail
#

whats the markscheme saying

simple sparrow
#

well we found that cosQ=-0.74,
but mark scheme says that cosQ=root5/3 which is 0.9999

#

@versed sail

simple sparrow
#

anyone have any idea?
