Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 13 sin x = 1 − 3 = −2, so sin x = −2/3
  2. 2sin⁻¹(2/3) = 41.81…°
  3. 3x = 180 + 41.81… = 221.81… ≈ 221.8°
  4. 4x = 360 − 41.81… = 318.18… ≈ 318.2°

Answer221.8 or 221.81... and 318.2 or 318.18 to 318.19
