Homework Statement



please help me solve the following, I do not have a good enough calculator :(

15=35 sinΘ([itex]-35 sin\vartheta \pm( \sqrt{(35sin \vartheta)^2 -294)}/-9.8[/itex]) -4.9(([itex]-35 sin\vartheta \pm( \sqrt{(35sin \vartheta)^2 -294)}/-9.8[/itex])^2

It is a massive equation, I tired using wolfram alpha but it took too much computational power...

PS. The parentheses should cover all of the square root, so that it was divided by -9.8
Thanks
