The Unit Circle and Circular Functions · Superchallenge problem

Let O=(0,0)O=(0,0) and A=(1,0)A=(1,0). For 0<t<π20<t<\dfrac{\pi}{2}, let PP be the terminal point of tt on the unit circle, QQ the foot of the perpendicular from PP to the xx-axis, and TT the point where ray OPOP meets the tangent line x=1x=1. If the area of triangle OATOAT is 88 times the area of triangle OQPOQP, find cos⁡t\cos t.
