11(b)
1. Apply the identity from part (a) to simplify the equation
From (a), .
Substituting with , the equation becomes:
2. Rearrange to find $\sin 2\theta$
3. Find the basic angle and solve for $2\theta$ in the required range
Since , we have .
Basic angle
Since , is in the 1st and 2nd quadrants.
4. Solve for $\theta$ and round to 1 decimal place
