⇒(sin ρ+cos ρ)^2 =((16)/9)  ⇒1+2sin ρcos ρ=((16)/9)  ⇒2sin ρcos ρ=(7/9)  since 0<ρ<(π/4) then cos ρ>sin ρ  so cos ρ−sin ρ>0  consider cos ρ−sin ρ=(√(1−2sin ρcos ρ))  cos ρ−sin ρ=(√(1−(7/9))) = ((√2)/3).

$$\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{sin}\:\rho+\mathrm{cos}\:\rho\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2sin}\:\rho\mathrm{cos}\:\rho=\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2sin}\:\rho\mathrm{cos}\:\rho=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$ $${since}\:\mathrm{0}<\rho<\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\:{then}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\rho>\mathrm{sin}\:\rho \\ $$ $${so}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\rho−\mathrm{sin}\:\rho>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${consider}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\rho−\mathrm{sin}\:\rho=\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2sin}\:\rho\mathrm{cos}\:\rho} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{cos}\:\rho−\mathrm{sin}\:\rho=\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{9}}}\:=\:\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{3}}. \\ $$ $$ \\ $$

(sinp+cosp)^2 +(cosp−sinp)^2 =2  (cosp−sinp)=(√(2−((16)/9))) =((√2)/3)   (As 0<p<(π/4))

$$\left({sinp}+{cosp}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({cosp}−{sinp}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\left({cosp}−{sinp}\right)=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}−\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{9}}}\:=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{3}}\:\:\:\left({As}\:\mathrm{0}<{p}<\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\right) \\ $$ $$ \\ $$
