 Trig Sidenote:  Your textbook, and many other textbooks, teach a method of dealing with triangles using a method called the CAST rule and a concept known as .                          related acute angles.  We won't use that method, because I believe that the winding function method and extended winding function method is      .                          much more efficient.  However, if you wish to explore the CAST rule and related acute angle method, there's a handout for it here.
