Question

A field goal post in football is 3.33 yards above the ground. If a football player kicks the ball at a 10 degree square angle in a straight line toward the goal post what is the distance away in yards where the ball barely goes over the goal post

Answer 1

  The distance is 19 yards or 18.9 yards:
because tan(10)=opposite/adjacent=3.33/x and x is distance
x=3.33/tan(10)=18.9 yd

Answer 2

If u multiply 3.33•10 your answer will be 33.3
