Question
use identities to find values of the sine and cosine functions for the angle measure.
θ, given that ( cos 2 \theta = \frac { - 12 } { 13 } ) and ( 0 ^ { circ } < \theta < 90 ^ { circ } )
( sin \theta = \frac { 5 sqrt { 26 } } { 26 } )

Step1: Use the double - angle identity for cosine
We know that \(\cos2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta\) and \(\cos2\theta=\frac{- 12}{13}\). So, \(\frac{-12}{13}=1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta\).
Also, we know the double - angle identity \(\cos2\theta=2\cos^{2}\theta - 1\). Substitute \(\cos2\theta =-\frac{12}{13}\) into it.
