Simple standard approach.
Do you know what is the exact value of cos 7 5 ∘ ? How can we calculate it?
c o s 7 5 ∘ = c o s ( 4 5 ∘ + 3 0 ∘ ) = c o s 4 5 ∘ c o s 3 0 ∘ − s i n 4 5 ∘ s i n 3 0 ∘
= 2 2 × 2 3 − 2 2 × 2 1 = 4 6 − 2 .

Do you realize that NK is the distance between Mx and Ny? :D
Using physics lateral shift =t sin(i-r)/cos r just use this formula of physics for lateral shift No need to do much calculation
