Sam is 24 feet away from the net and the next is 10 feet tall , Sam wants to figure out at what angle does he need to shoot the ball so that it will go in
24 feet
10 feet
Sam decides to use the trigonometry that he learned from his maths teacher priya mama to solve this problem; he uses the equation tan-1 (10/24) to get an answer of 42%, so he has to shoot the ball in a 42% angle.

rohith got the ball and is now going for a dunk, he wants to know how high he needs to jump
35
20
rohith 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
Rohith decides to move back more and now wants to find out how far is he from under the net

40

Rohith 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
