because Mexico wanted a biger country they wanted more land then the snited states of America

Texas was delayed in statehood for many reasons. When Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, Texas President Sam Houston pressed the US to annex Texas. However, the US wasn't sure that Texas would be able to keep its independence, so they delayed.

Later Texas President Lamar did not seek annexation. He believed Texas had its own "Manifest Destiny" to become a great nation that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.

In 1844, under Texas President Anson Jones, Texas again pressed for annexation. However, it was an election year in the US and government officials weren't willing to commit to the issue at that time.

Finally, in February 1846, the US Congress passed a joint resolution agreeing to annex Texas. On December 29, 1845, US President Polk signed the act admitting Texas as the 28th state to the United States.

The Republic of Texas existed from 1836 to 1845 before Texas joined the US. Besides the likelihood of war with Mexico why did annexation take so long?

Texas practiced slavery, and the US already had adequate problems maintaing a balance between the north and the south on that issue. Texas had made an effort to go it alone as a Republic, but it lacked recognition by most of the world and had created an enormous burden of debt. Texas needed a handout in a big way.

What is the relationship between the firing delay angle and the input power factor?

The firing delay angle is the point in the AC cycle at which a thyristor starts conducting. By adjusting this angle, the power factor of the system can be controlled as it affects the balance between real power and reactive power. A smaller firing delay angle can improve the power factor by reducing the phase difference between voltage and current.
