Sine of angles in the second quadrant
We have seen that the sine of angles in the first and second
quadrants are positive.
The sine of angles in the third and fourth quadrants are
negative.
In the second quadrant, 90° < θ < 180°.
sin θ = sin (180° – θ)
For example,
sin 130° = sin (180° – 130°)
= sin 50°
= 0.766 (to 3 sig. figs)

Sine of angles in the third quadrant
In the third quadrant, 180° < θ < 270°.
sin θ = –sin (θ – 180°)
For example,
sin 220° = – sin (220° – 180°)
= – sin 40°
= – 0.643 (to 3 sig. figs)
Verify, using a scientific calculator, that sin 220° = –sin 40°

The area of a triangle
Suppose that instead of the height of a triangle, we are given
the base, one of the sides and the included angle. For example,
What is the area of triangle ABC?
A
h
B
7 cm
Let’s call the height of the
triangle h.
4 cm
We can find h using the sine ratio.
h
= sin 47°
47° C

h = 4 sin 47°
Area of triangle ABC = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 7 × 4 sin 47°
= 10.2 cm2 (to 1 d.p.)

we have:

Finding the second possible value
Suppose that in the last example we had not been given a
diagram but had only been told that AC = 8 cm, CB = 6 cm and
that the angle at A = 46°.
There is a second possible value for the angle at B.
Instead of this triangle …
… we could have this triangle.

Remember, sin θ = sin (180° – θ)
So for every acute solution, there
is a corresponding obtuse solution.
