(a) In a right-angled triangle, sin â¡X = \(\frac{3}{5}\). Evaluate, leaving the answer as a fraction, 5 (cosX)\(^2\) – 3.
(b) The base of a pyramid, 12 cm high, is a rectangle with dimensions 42 cm by 11 cm. if the pyramid is filled with water and emptied into a conical container of equal height and volume, calculate, leaving the answer in surd form (radicals), the base radius of the container. [Take π=\(\frac{22}{7}\)]
