Question Analysis
The question asks which angle has the same sin θ as 30°, focusing on identifying angles in different quadrants with identical sine values (same y-coordinate on the unit circle).
Key Concept Explanation
Sine and Quadrants: Sin θ is positive in QI and QII, negative in QIII and QIV.
Reference Angles: Angles in QII that share a reference angle with QI have the same sine value. For 30° (QI), the corresponding QII angle is .
Step-by-Step Solution
1. Identify the reference angle for 30°:
Reference angle = 30° (already in QI).
2. Find the QII angle with the same reference angle:
QII angle = .
3. Verify sine values:
,
.
Option Analysis
150°: Correct. Lies in QII, the supplement of 30°, same sine value .(Correct)
210°: Incorrect. Lies in QIII,
