The diagram shows the plan of a rectangular table, in a corner of a room. Given that the table has length 1.5m and width 0.8m, and that <POS = <STR = 90o and <OPS = q, where q is a variable. Express OT in terms of q and then in the form R sin (q + a) where 0o < a < 90o and R is a positive constant.
 
Hence, find the value of q for which
(i)  OT has maximum length
(ii) OT = 1.2m

Given that
                 
show that 5 sin (A - B) = 3 sin (A + B)
 
Hence, without the use of a calculator,
(i)  show that tanA cotB = 4
(ii) given further that sin A = 4/5 and that A is acute, find the value of tan B.
