Sin angle that equals the 1/2 value is the 30 degree on the 1st Quadrant.

The angle of 30 degree on the 3rd Quadrant is equivalent to (formula and circle in the 1st photo) 180 + 30 = 210°.

So theta = 210° (3rd Quadrant) = 30° (1st Quadrant).

cos \: 30\degree = \sqrt{3} \div 2

Now just transfer the cos 30° to the 3rd Quadrant and the signal will be negative (as shown in the 2nd photo attached).

cos \: 210 \degree = - \sqrt{3} \div 2

Hurry please. How many triangles can be constructed with angle measurements ​ 90°,45°,50° ​ ?
Lelechka [254]
Since the sum of the measures of the angles exceed 180 degrees, 90 + 45 + 50 = 185 degrees, these measurements cannot make a triangle.
