    Balance between content of the prescribed text and related text?

    Hi, for both the essays in paper 1 and 2 that require a related text, what would be an optimal balance between the amount of content you write for the prescribed and related text? Is it better to keep it 50/50 or lean towards a 60/40~ in favour of the prescribed text? Thanks in advance

    Finding the exact value

    I'd draw a triangle and use SOH CAH TOA. I.e. tanx= 7/1, therefore hypotenuse is 7^2+1^2 which is root 50. Therefore exact value of cosx is 1/root 50 but the angle lies in the 3rd quadrant since tanx>0 and sinx<0. Hence cosx is -ve 1/root 50
