I didn't even bother with that one, especially as the geometry question was NOT strictly accurate as geometry deals with shapes on earth and not RELATIVE positions that's covered in calculus. It what Einstein used to develop his theory of RELATIVITY. I remember being able (not now) being able to develop an equation of a reflection in a mirror.
You can apply the principles of calculus, namely differentiation and integration, to trigonometry, but not geometry. While there are some crossover between geometry and trigonometry, they are basically two separate entities.

I did very poorly in maths at school, and obviously have retained only what little I didn’t learn well. I didn’t understand your post, nor the one you responded to. Luckily I wasn’t the Federal Minister for Finance or the Treasurer!

I agree with your sentiments. Having been a maths whiz up until the second year of high school, I sadly fell behind due a poor teacher. I played catchup which lasted until I started university where maths was an important component of the Bachelor of Applied Chemistry. I ended up getting a high distinction in Science Maths 2 back in 1987 as a mature age student.

I finally caught up!
