Question 391597: How do I approach the following question: If x sin A + y cos A = p and x cos A - y sin A = q, find x square + y square. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! = q cos A - p sin A
= p cos A - q sin A
after using Cramer's rule to solve for x and y.
Then
=
