Where do I go from here? Not understanding the trig

**Problem 11.124**

Knowing that at the instant shown block A has a velocity of 8 in/s and an acceleration of 6 in/s² both directed down the incline, determine (a) the velocity of block B, (b) the acceleration of block B.

### Diagram Explanation

A diagram shows block A on an incline making an angle of 25° with the horizontal. Block B is connected via pulleys and is at another incline of 15°. The angle between the two pulleys is 40°.

### Solution

Given:
- Velocity of block A, \( \dot{x}_A = 8 \, \text{in/s} \) down the incline.
- Acceleration of block A, \( \ddot{x}_A = 6 \, \text{in/s}^2 \) down the incline.
- \( x_B = ?  \)
- \( \dot{x}_B = ? \)
- \( \ddot{x}_B = ? \)

Steps:

1. **Length Equation:**
   \[
   L = x_A + x_A + (x_B - x_A)
   \]
2. **Differentiating:**
   \[
   0 = \dot{x}_A + \dot{x}_A + \dot{x}_{B/A}
   \]
3. **Substitution:**
   \[
   \dot{x}_{B/A} = -2 \dot{x}_A = -2(8) = -16 \, \text{in/s}
   \]

4. **Velocity of B:**
   \[
   \dot{x}_B = \dot{x}_{B/A} + \dot{x}_A 
   \]
   \[
   = -16 \cos 40^\circ + 8 \cos 25^\circ 
   \]
   \[
   = -12.258 + 7.250 = -5.008 \, \text{in/s}
   \]
   (Now just need direction)

### Graphs and Calculations

Two right-angled triangles are shown for calculating the components:
- One with hypotenuse 16 and angle 40°.
- Second with hypotenuse 8 and angle 25°. 

The calculations involve:
\[
16 \cos 40^\circ 
\]
\[
8 \cos 25^\circ 
\]

Conclusion:
- Compute the exact
