Sometimes Alex doesn't use the best method to solving these questions - e.g. using sine rule when cos rule could be used, or just forgetting to use pythag. He's also still working on all the various angle-finding techniques.
Luca was able to learn how to use trig applications in base triangles and also how to find the angle using inverse trig functions

I don't think Luca understands what inverse trig functions are conceptually yet, so it would be good to cover that. That said, I think it should be fine so long as he knows how to use them.
