Solution Steps

To solve the given problem, we will use trigonometric substitution. The substitution given is \( x = 4 \sin \theta \). We will substitute this into the equation and simplify to find \(\sin \theta\). Then, using the Pythagorean identity, we will find \(\cos \theta\).

Step 1: Substitute and Simplify

We start with the equation given by the trigonometric substitution \( x = 4 \sin \theta \). Substituting this into the equation \( 4 = \sqrt{16 - x^2} \) gives us: \[ 4 = \sqrt{16 - (4 \sin \theta)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 = \sqrt{16 - 16 \sin^2 \theta} \]

Step 2: Solve for \(\sin \theta\)

Squaring both sides of the equation results in: \[ 16 = 16 - 16 \sin^2 \theta \] Rearranging this gives: \[ 16 \sin^2 \theta = 0 \] Thus, we find: \[ \sin \theta = 0 \]

Step 3: Calculate \(\cos \theta\)

Using the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \), we can find \(\cos \theta\): \[ \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - 0^2 = 1 \] Therefore, we have: \[ \cos \theta = 1 \]

Final Answer

The values are: \[ \sin \theta = 0, \quad \cos \theta = 1 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{0, 1} \]
