Let θ\theta be an angle such that cos⁡θ=−32\cos\theta=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} and 180∘<θ<360∘180^{\circ}<\theta<360^{\circ}. a. (i) Identify the possible quadrants in which θ\theta can lie and state the corresponding sign of sin⁡θ\sin\theta in each. b. (ii) Determine the correct value of sin⁡θ\sin\theta. c. (iii) Write the least positive value of θ\theta satisfying the given condition in both degree and radian measure. d. (iv) Using the obtained values of sin⁡θ\sin\theta and cos⁡θ\cos\theta, show that sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1.
