Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let pq = x

given oq - pq = 1 then oq = 1 + x

Using Pythagoras' identity, then

(oq)² = 7² + x²

(1 + x)² = 49 + x² ( expand left side )

1 + 2x + x² = 49 + x² ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x + x² = 48 + x² ( subtract x² from both sides )

2x = 48 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 24 ⇒ pq = 24

and oq = 1 + x = 1 + 24 = 25 ← hypotenuse

sinq = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{25}[/tex]

cosq = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{25}[/tex]
