### Example Problem

**Assume \( \sin(\theta) = \frac{49}{50} \) where \( 2\pi < \theta < \frac{5\pi}{2} \). Compute \( \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \).**

**Step-by-Step Solution:**

1. **Determine the quadrant for \( \theta \):**
   
   The angle \( \theta \) is in quadrant

2. **Compute \( \cos(\theta) \):**
   
   Since \( \sin(\theta) = \frac{49}{50} \),
   \[
   \cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2(\theta)} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{49}{50}\right)^2} 
   \]

3. **Simplify \( \cos(\theta) \):**
   
   \[
   \cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1 - \frac{2401}{2500}} = \sqrt{\frac{99}{2500}} = \frac{\sqrt{99}}{50}
   \]
   
   Since \( \theta \) is in the fourth quadrant, \( \cos(\theta) \) is positive.

4. **Determine the quadrant for \( \frac{\theta}{2} \):**
   
   The angle \( \frac{\theta}{2} \) is in quadrant 
   - Quadrant Drop-down menu for students to select the correct quadrant.

5. **Compute \( \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \):**
   
   \[
   \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos(\theta)}{2}}
   \]
   
   Substituting \( \cos(\theta) \):
   \[
   \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \frac{\sqrt{99}}{50}}{2}}
   \]
   
   - Answer Box for students to enter \( \sin\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \).
