Homework Statement
In triangle ABC
AC= 9cm, BC=5cm and angle ACB = β in degrees.
Given that cos2β=0.84, determine
(i) the exact value of sin2B
(ii) the value of β if 90°<β<180°
(iii) the length of AB
Homework Equations
sin2θ+cos2θ=1
The Attempt at a Solution
Using that equation In relevant equations i calculated part (i) and it is 0.16
Now I'm stuck on part (ii), I tried finding the square root of sin2β and as well as cos2β
then use the inverse function.
But to no avail, what significance does this range play?
