    Section 4.3

    Here is my set up for 69:

    Top Hole:

    x = 38 cos 60
    y = 38 sin 60

    Bottom Hole:

    x = 38 cos 30
    y = 38 sin 30

    Yes?

    x = 38 cos 60 ......where 38 comes from?

    I meant to use 30 degrees not 38 degrees.

    Here it is again:

    Top Hole:

    x = 30 cos 60
    y = 30 sin 60

    Bottom Hole:

    x = 30 cos 30
    y = 30 sin 30

    Yes?

    for the first hole you have a 30-60-90 triangle with hypothenuse 56
    Bottom Hole:
    sin(30)=y/56 ->y=56sin(30)
    cos(30)=x/56 -> x=56cos(30)

    similar for the Top Hole:
    y=56sin(60)
    x=56cos(60)
