cos Θ = negative 4 over 7

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use the cosine inverse function to find this...

cos-1 (-4/7)  = 124.849904579046°

Note this is an 55.150095420954° angle in the 2nd quadrant

It could lie in the third quad, as well - since the cosine is also negative there....so you would have an additional possible angle = 235.150095420954°
