Exactly what I was saying. You've left nothing to the imagination which is why you've given the solution indirectly and this makes your fear of not giving the entire solution to abide by PF rules futile.

I think trigonometry is very difficult part for noobs. That's the only reason.

I mean you want to show that I'm not following PF rules
I didn't mean to provoke you, I was trying to show you why you weren't actually obeying the PF rules. If you disagree with me, then by all means, ask a moderator if your method of helping is within the guidelines of the rules.

This doesn't mean we should be solving all the trigonometry and leaving just the algebra part up to them to solve, because they're not as "noob" at algebra.
Also, the OP isn't as bad at trigonometry as you make him out to be :-p And we've all been there at one stage in our lives. Believe it or not, I too was a noob at trigonometry about 2 years back.
 
Okay, I'll take care next time I post.
 
I myself had an infraction when I started off in this forum so don't worry, it'll quickly become clear to you what is acceptable and what isn't. Most if not all high-count poster (I'll say 500 and above) give acceptable homework help. You should follow their lead :wink:
