a practice quiz, people.

If you want. Or not.
It's, you know, it's whatever.
529
00:32:42,754 --> 00:32:45,465
So in this problem,
we have to solve for sine.
530
00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:49,553
Right, uh, what,
what exactly is a sine?
531
00:32:50,429 --> 00:32:53,348
It's just the measurement of an angle.
532
00:32:53,348 --> 00:32:55,517
Sine is the ratio
of the opposite side of the triangle

Very hard.

‐ I really admire you.
561
00:34:54,970 --> 00:34:57,431
You cared for your daughter
with so little support
562
00:34:57,431 --> 00:35:01,268
and very few resources all by yourself.
563
00:35:02,728 --> 00:35:04,938
But when you knew that
she needed a life
564
00:35:04,938 --> 00:35:07,357
that you couldn't give her,
565
00:35:07,357 --> 00:35:09,943
you made the biggest sacrifice
a mother can make.
566
00:35:11,737 --> 00:35:13,447
You did what was best for her.
567
00:35:14,948 --> 00:35:17,201
And you're such a good mother.
568
00:35:17,201 --> 00:35:21,413
I know you would never do anything
that would hurt your daughter.

And taking her away from her home,
570
00:35:24,499 --> 00:35:27,920
that would harm her more
than you can possibly imagine.
571

I just want her here with me.

for what you did to that baby.
