Hello all!

Hey, my name is Angel (yes, that is my real name) and I dunno why, but I absolutely CANNOT get some of the things that are taught in Trig. So, that's why I'm here. To make friends, and understand Trig... Well... Somewhat. Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Re: Hello all!

Hi Angelpumpingas,
Trig is quite easy at the preleminary level....
Sinθ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse
Cosθ = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
Tanθ = Opposite side/Adjacent side = Sinθ /Cosθ
Sinθ = Cos(90 - θ ) in degrees
and Cosθ = Sin(90-θ ) in degrees,
Sin²θ + Cos²θ = 1

Re: Hello all!

It's a little-known fact that heaven is actually hell in disguise.
In heaven, all you can do is float around in a neverending area of clouds that all looks the same listening to the same monotonous harp music played over and over again. You get tortured with boredom up there. Hell is much cooler.

Re: Hello all!

Or perhaps Hell is much "hotter" ?

Heaven does seem to be boring ... probably just the failure of people to imagine what it could be like. Art from 100s of years ago fails just as much as modern movies do.

Perhaps we could imagine a different Heaven ... exciting, interesting, fun, friends, laughter.

Re: Hello all!

BTW means "By The Way". Trig is trigonometry and is advanced maths involving cos, sin, tan.

BTW, why are you calling me a freak for using "BTW" when your whole post is made up of abrivations. *Don't know how to spell abrv."

Some people.

Polly was saying that her m8 was the freak for asking, I think.

Re: Hello all!

Trig, see part by me.  Also an error is in response before mine, but I can't find it.
This shows a use for the cosine of 45 degrees as a way to get the number 4 shorter than the number 4.
Instead of a diagonal length, then we get a the horizontal shadow cast below.

I used the link command, but it might be something else.
Anyone?

Re: Hello all!

Replace 'link' with 'url'. I would do it for you, but I don't moderate here.

Re: Hello all!

Fixed.

Heaven is not "Sit on clouds and play Harps". A total myth. Heaven is all that is beautiful. It has no faults. It is one persons idea of perfection for every person.
