so in Q2 , x is negative and y is positive
so , cos is negative and sin is positive
cos(theta) = +/- √(1 - sin^2(theta)
but here , we need the -
cos(theta) = - √( 1- sin^2(theta) ) = - sqrt (1 - ( 2*√(5)/5)^2 )
cos(theta) = - √(1 - 4*5/25) = -√( 25/25 - 20/25) = -√(5/25) = -√(5)/5
cos(theta) = -√(5)/5
sin²∅ + cos²∅ = 1
4 /5 + cos²∅ = 1
cos²∅ = 1/5
cos ∅ = - 1/√5_______3rd quadrant
