The figure below shows a triangular piece of cloth: Triangle ABC has angle ABC equal to 90 degrees and angle BAC equal to 33 degrees. Length of AC is 7 inches. What is the length of the portion BC of the cloth? 7 cos 33° sin 33 degrees divided by 7 7 sin 33° cos 33 degrees divided by 7 http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_geometry_v16/image0074e39553f.jpg

@josedavid :  I do understand that your previous problem was long and for you difficult.
But we're close to finishing it.  Please finish reducing the equation I gave you at the end of our discussion.  Otherwise all the time we put into solving that problem may be wasted.

I'll help with this problem only after you've finished the previous problem, OK?

Fine.  Go back and finish the one that we've already spent more than an hour on.
I don't want all that time to go wasted.
