x + y = 53

x -y = 9 Adding both equations

2x = 62

x = 31 y = 22

Find sinϴ and cosϴ if tanϴ=1/4 and sinϴ>0

_______________

$\mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad\qquad(sin\,\theta\ \textgreater \ 0)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,\theta}{cos\,\theta}=\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{4\,sin\,\theta=cos\,\theta\qquad\quad(i)}$

Square both sides:

$\mathsf{(4\,sin\,\theta)^2=(cos\,\theta)^2}\\\\
\mathsf{4^2\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta}$

$\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta+sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{17\,sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{17}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{17}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}}$

Since $\mathsf{sin\,\theta}$ is positive, you can discard the negative sign. So,

$\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

Substitute this value back into $\mathsf{(i)}$ to find $\mathsf{cos\,\theta:}$

$\mathsf{4\cdot \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}=cos\,\theta}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}$

I hope this helps. =)
