I've got sinθ = 2/√29
cosθ = 5/√29

I'm thrilled I somehow managed to get these right, prior to any understanding of the problem, just by ******* about

X' is pretty easy as well ; (√29, 0)

Still racking my brain for Z'

you can get these using simple pythagoras

I've gone through it, I notice from your very thorough explanation, the problem wasn't actually that difficult and my random tinkering was on the right track. A bit embarrassed now! Although less bothered as it wasn't my problem in the first place (< saving face

), I stopped doing maths at A/S.
