I don’t quite understand the solution in the ms, what I have done is find the gradient of the perpendicular line which is sin(theta)/cos(theta) and then negative reciprocal to find the line RP which gives -cot

Check your diagram - have you marked theta correctly? A quick look suggests it is 90 - theta

My bad, you’re right.
How would deduce that it’s 90-theta quickly.I used quadrilateral, or similar triangles but both takes long in my opinion
