I know it is, i just drew it wrong, but anyway, what's the deal with angle, i still don't understand how it is sine and not cosine?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic field vector B at points P1 and P2 in a system with two intersecting current-carrying cylindrical pieces, each with a current density of J=0.5 A/mm². The Biot-Savart law and Ampere's law are utilized to derive the magnetic field contributions from each cylinder, considering their opposing current directions. The net current in the intersection area is zero, allowing for independent calculations of B for each cylinder, with the final results indicating that the magnetic field at both points is influenced by the geometry and current directions of the cylinders.
