Mike uses what he knows to find out how high the hoop is; he uses the equation 35 times Sine 20 to get his answer. after doing his equation he got a answer of 12.0 feet
Mike decides to use trigonometry again to find how far he is and decides to use the equation 40 times cosine 20 to get a answer of 37.6; so that's how far he is from the net
