Since we are given that cos(theta) = -√3/2, we can use the unit circle to determine the values of theta.
Recall that the cosine of an angle is the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle corresponding to that angle.
Since cos(theta) = -√3/2, the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle corresponding to theta is -√3/2.
We can determine the values of theta by finding the angles where the x-coordinate is -√3/2.
In the unit circle, the x-coordinate is -√3/2 at two angles: 150 degrees and 210 degrees.
So, the solutions for theta, to the nearest degree, are:
theta = 150 degrees
theta = 210 degrees
