Well, you _could_ have trimmed the signature line, you know. :-)
(That's standard Usenet practice, in fact.)
But I did _not_ merely say "any trigonometry book", I told you
specifically what topic. If you prefer, do a Google search on the
same topic.
Time is money, Schweetiepooples. If you want free answers, be
prepared to do some follow-through on your own. If you want me to
write you a custom essay, I'll be happy to do that too: forward me a
$500 retainer and we'll talk fees.
