 3. To find $sin\theta$, we can use the trig identity $sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1$:
 $$ sin^2\theta + (-\frac{7}{25}) = 1 $$
 Rearranging, we get:
-$$ 1 - (-\frac{7}{25} = sin^2\theta $$
+$$ 1 - (-\frac{7}{25})^2 = sin^2\theta $$
+Applying the exponent gives us $\frac{49}{625}$, so we can do this:
+$$ \frac{625}{625} - \frac{49}{625} = \frac{576}{625} = sin^2\theta $$
+
+Getting rid of the exponent:
+$$ \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}} = $$
