.Given sinθ=0.6293 where 900≤θ≤1800, determine the smallest positive angle that is co-terminal to θ and is not equal to θ.

so here as sin\({\theta}\) is = 0.6293

\({\theta}\) = arc sin (0.6293) = 38.9984

but as we need it to be in second quadrant it is 90+38.9984 = 128.9984 degrees

Why does it need to be in the second quadrant?

Its becoz theta is said to be in between 90 and 180 degrees which indirectly says that it should be in Q2

where 900≤θ≤1800

Okay, but then how do you rationalize this, what does this mean?
