Problem statement is in the picture, please help with part a!

Particles A and B, each of mass m. arc connected by a rigid massless rod of length l. Particle A can move without friction on the horizontal x-axis. While particle B can move without friction on the vertical y-axis. If x,y and theta are chosen as generalized coordinates, find the constraint equations.(10%) f theta is chosen as a single generalized coordinate, determine the differential equation of motion with Lagrange's Equations.915%)

Explanation / Answer

since they form a triangle we know that x=Lsin and y=Lcos. I used this info in my answer for part b
