Q: Can you help me with some pre-calculus homework? I'm having having a hard time grasping trigonometry.
A: just imagine this very real life situation. there is a flagpole and you need to figure out how tall the flagpole is. imagine that you must, actually figure out how tall the flagpole is. but you don't know how to climb a flagpole. cannot climb the flagpole, but you must figure out how tall the flagpole is. the world needs to know. but there are two skills you do have, which is knowing how far away you are standing from the flagpole, and knowing exactly what angle you are looking when you look up. you look up at the flagpole and you magically know you are looking up at a 60degree angle (like imagine you have an app or something, in your headpiece). you are 10 feet away from the flag pole. got to find out how tall that flagpole is, i don't care how you do it.  except as i said before you're not allowed to climb it. has 'do not climb' written on it. how high is flag pole? find out next season
