What keeps everybody from solving your problem are the words 

"and the tangent of"

which makes no sense to us.  If you can explain what this means, or
if it was a mistake, then I'll be glad to help you with the other part.
You may answer in the space below and I'll get back to you by email.

Edwin is right.
Also (a) (X+8)^2/144+(Y-2)^2/81 is not an equation.
