sin(θ-90)=-cos θ
-246 cos θ = -186; therefore, θ=arccos(186/246)
Boarding at the bottom, a person will be h feet above the ground after the wheel has turned θ degrees, where
h=r+ r sin(θ-90).and r is the radius of the wheel.

asked 12/05/19I can't seem to get the right answer for this question, is there anyway I can some help?
The function
H(θ) = 246 sin(θ − 90°) + 296
models a person's height in feet on the Singapore Flyer Ferris wheel after boarding at the bottom and traveling θ degrees around the wheel. Solve
246 sin(θ − 90°) + 296 = 110
over the interval [0°, 720°].
†(a) Using inverse trigonometric functions, find all solutions to the given equation over the interval provided. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Round your answers to two decimal places.)
θ = ________°
(b) Explain what your solution(s) mean in the given context.
A rider boarding the Ferris wheel at the "top or bottom" will be at a height of ______ feet above the ground after traveling θ degrees around the wheel.
sin(θ-90)=-cos θ
-246 cos θ = -186; therefore, θ=arccos(186/246)
Boarding at the bottom, a person will be h feet above the ground after the wheel has turned θ degrees, where
h=r+ r sin(θ-90).and r is the radius of the wheel.
