is given

is also given

is one of the many trig identities



Plug in given values

Flip the second fraction and multiply



The 7s cancel. See note below.

Multiply top and bottom by so we can rationalize the denominator.

Use the rule





is the final answer

Note: if you are not required to rationalize the denominator, then you can stop at this step.
