Given that Sin θ = (√3)/4 find the values of Cos θ in surd form?

Here's the paper. It's question 3 and the answers are at the bottom of the pdf document:

I've managed to get the correct numerical value of my caluator by doing:

Sin^-1 ((√3)/4) = 25.6589...

Cos (Ans) = 0.901388...

The answer is ±√13/4 which equals 0.901388... The problem I'm having is how I express the answer in surd form. The mark scheme doesn't really give any stages of working as to how they arrived at the answer :( So I got the correct answer, but would have got no marks as I just plugged the numbers into the calculator rather than doing it by the method they wanted.

I'll appreciate if someone could quickly walk me through this :)
