• Thank you so much! Quick question what does (*) mean?

• (*) does not have any meaning. It is my way of referring to that equation. Some sort of a tag for that formula.

• Okay thank you

• One more quick question if 31 degrees was changed to 39 would it be different to solve? My professor said the 31 was a typo

• I revised my solution and included the solution for the case where the angle is 39 degrees.

• Thank you! It
