How to set boundaries for trigonometric functions

6 views (last 30 days)
I've written this script to solve for theta values. However, I cant workout how to set boundaries to only get poisitve values for theta, for example 0<theta<360.
clc,clear
syms theta3 theta4
fy = 0 == 73*sind(0) + 92*sind(200) + 87*sind(theta3) + 65*sind(theta4)
fx = 0 == 73*cosd(0) + 92*cosd(200) + 87*cosd(theta3) + 65*cosd(theta4)
[theta3sol,theta4sol] = solve(fy,fx,theta3,theta4)
theta3 = vpa(theta3sol,5)
theta4 = vpa(theta4sol,5)
Returns:
theta3sol =
(360*atan((13*85403789126173195056934905259670212585526538414004209215^(1/2))/212172034776804222801675115885 + 169444851951920877829311430656/212172034776804222801675115885))/pi
-(360*atan((13*85403789126173195056934905259670212585526538414004209215^(1/2))/212172034776804222801675115885 - 169444851951920877829311430656/212172034776804222801675115885))/pi
theta4sol =
(360*atan(85403789126173195056934905259670212585526538414004209215^(1/2)/1009938951550348524254389535 - 1947641976458860664704729088/201987790310069704850877907))/pi
-(360*atan(85403789126173195056934905259670212585526538414004209215^(1/2)/1009938951550348524254389535 + 1947641976458860664704729088/201987790310069704850877907))/pi
theta3 =
107.54
26.165
theta4 =
-52.385
-173.91
How do I make it return only the value from the first solution for both thetas but also in the boundary of 0<theta<360 ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
