Answer

Write $z'$ in terms of $R, y, z$. $$z'=z\cos R+y\sin R$$

Work Step by Step

$$z'=r\sin(\theta+R)\hspace{1cm}y=r\cos\theta\hspace{1cm}z=r\sin\theta$$ We now would analyze $z'$ formula. For $\sin(\theta+R)$, the sine sum identity can be applied: $$\sin(\theta+R)=\sin\theta\cos R+\cos\theta\sin R$$ Therefore, $$z'=r(\sin\theta\cos R+\cos\theta\sin R)$$ $$z'=r\sin\theta\cos R+r\cos\theta\sin R$$ $$y'=(r\sin\theta)\cos R+(r\cos\theta)\sin R$$ Now recall that $z=r\sin\theta$ and $y=r\cos\theta$. $$z'=z\cos R+y\sin R$$ That is the formula of $z'$ in terms of $R, y, z$.
