You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the distance between points p1(sinx,cosx)and p2(cosx,y)is square root of 2,what is the value of y?
-------
(sin-cos)^2 + (cos-y)^2 = 2
---
sin^2-2sin*cos+cos^2 + (cos-y)^2 = 2
---------
1 - sin(2x) + (cos-y)^2 = 2
--------
(cos-y)^2 = -1-sin(2x)
----
cos-y = sqrt(-1-sin(2x))
y = cos(x)-sqrt(-1-sin(2x))
