About the subject...math figures strongly in the more advanced uses of 
POV, so math questions are usually on-topic, as long as they have 
something to do with POV or computer graphics. (which can be just about 
anything)

Simple things like this question go well in this group, more difficult 
problems fit better in povray.advanced-users. And as Will mentioned, 
trigonometry isn't really that important in POV, a good understanding of 
geometry and vector math is much more helpful.
