Link nodded slowly. Okay, building a slide, that made sense---and figuring the distance between the stairs and bottom of the slide.

"So since the ladder will be upright, we know that is going to be a right angle, ninety degrees, right?"

"Right...because it's not leaning and the ground is probably flat."

He nodded. "Exactly. So you need to figure out the bottom side for the length. Now SOH CAH TOA is all about the right angle," he circled it with the spray paint, then he added letters to each side. He identified the names that went with the letters as he did. "This is the opposite, this is the adjacent, this is the hypotenuse. In a right triangle, som long as you know two sides, you always can calculate the third. So you know the hypotenuse, and you know the opposite. So you need the adjacent. So what you need is Sine. SOH. Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse. You done fractions before, kid?"

"Uh. Well, not more than halves, quarters, and thirds."

The latter of which he had an actual reminder of on the skin of his left hand.

"Alright well here is an easy clue for fractions, you ready?" He asked with a grin grabbing the can he had used for division the previous day.

Link watched quietly with interest.

He drew a line across then a letter A and a letter B, the A above the line, the B under.

"So. Fractions are one number over the other, yes?"

Prepare to have your mind blown, kid.
