A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2. Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c), and a well-known example is (3, 4, 5). If (a, b, c) is a Pythagorean triple, then so is (ka, kb, kc) for any positive integer k.
7*2=14
14*3=42

Here you're being asked to find the "perimeter" of the space, even tho' the problem doesn't specifically ask for it.
The formula for P is P = 2W + 2L.
Here the width, W, is 3 1/2 yds, and the length, L, is 4 2/3 yds. Subbing these two values into the formula for P (above) results in:
P = 2(3 1/2 yds) + 2(4 2/3 yds)
= 7 yds + 9 1/3 yds = 16 1/3 yds, total.
Answer:
the perimeter is the total length of that plane figure
If you're taking trig, the "sum and difference formulas for trig functions" are basic facts that you'll need to learn and commit to memory. I'd suggest you look up these formulas on the net. You will likely immediately find listings for the sine, cosine and tangent.
