We know that the cosine of an angle in Quadrant II is negative. Since the cosine is -47, we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1 to find the value of sin(θ).

Plugging in the value of cos(θ) = -47 into the identity, we get:
sin^2(θ) + (-47)^2 = 1
sin^2(θ) + 2209 = 1
sin^2(θ) = -2208

Since the sine is positive in Quadrant II, we can take the positive square root:
sin(θ) = √(-2208)
sin(θ) = √(-1) * √(2208)
sin(θ) = √(-1) * √(16 * 138)
sin(θ) = 4√(-1) * √(138)
sin(θ) = 4i√(138)

Therefore, the sine for the angle with cosine -47 in Quadrant II is 4i√(138), where i is the imaginary unit.
