Alright!
Yes this does help. I become very perplexed and bothered; thinking that I was making it more difficult than it needs to be. Knowing now that it is more in the realms of trig, I guess I'll have to give myself and others a little brake.
I never took trig and barely passed algebra; I struggle at "long-hand" even with the help of a calculator. So I may or may not take the time to know the long-hand formula, but I'll defiantly look into a scientific calculator as to add another tool in my tool box!
This is the first time I ever tried a site like this so I appreciate your immediate response.
