All the time.


Ok smart arse, if your an engineer or anal intruder like yourself and need to work out the angle to which you need to enter your boyfriends anus to avoid spillage of anal juice then yes, you will need it.

Find the heinght h of tower and lenghts of 0B and 0C (You may assume that points 0,A,B,C all lie in one vertical plane. Hint first draw a diagram.

i dont have a clue, i am confusing myself drawing the diagram



u mean sun dont ya?!

Thats the diagram.

tower height = tan(15) x adj = tan(6) x (adj+19)

Just rewrite that.

you calculate the H value then use tan(angle) = Opposite / adjecant (sp !!), which will rearrange to :

adjacent = opposite / tan(angle)

SOHCAHTOA

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan = opposite/adjacent

remember that and all your trigonometric needs will be solved

You can't use SOHCAHTOA - you don't know enough about either triangle. Its a simultaneous equation of some sort....

3.3 metres (height of tower), but I've been at the pub so might be wrong...
