Evaluate trigonometric expression given a constraint
View
On the coordinate plane, $O$ is the origin, and points $A(1,0)$ and $B(-2,0)$ are given. There are also two points $P$ and $Q$ in the upper half-plane satisfying $\overline{AP} = \overline{OA}$, $\overline{BQ} = \overline{OB}$, $\angle POQ$ is a right angle. Let $\angle AOP = \theta$.
The length of line segment $\overline{OP}$ is which of the following options? (Single choice question, 3 points)
(1) $\sin\theta$
(2) $\cos\theta$
(3) $2\sin\theta$
(4) $2\cos\theta$
(5) $\cos 2\theta$
