Are you sure W is the angle, and not the vector for weight?

anonymous · Answer

that's what it said in the problem, I just copy and pasted it.

anonymous · Answer

the only thing I'm thinking is cos Θ = adj/hyp = WN/BW

anonymous · Answer

here's the options

a.)sin P


b.)cos P


c.)1 − sin P


d.)1 − cos P
