Dorart is really upset and decides that he is going to be a more precise shooter. Since he is 20 feet away from the 8-foot basket, to find the angle of elevation he uses trig again. He figures out that the angle is tan−1 (8/20 ) = 21.8° .

Since the basket is too high up for Dorart to reach. He decides to find another distance. So he uses another distance that is 15-ft high and his angle to the net is 63°. So he uses trig to figure out how far away he is. He finds out that 15/tan(63) = 7.64. So he is only 7.6 feet away.

Dorart is a basketballist that is trying his best to score some points. Dorart is standing 20 feet away looking at the net at an angle of 50°. He wonders how high up the basket is. So he uses trig. He finds out that tan(50) ∙ 20 = 23.8. So the basket is 23 feet high.

Next day at practice, the Warriors had a big game the next day so Dorart had to get his shot down. After shooting on that tall rim, his shot on the normal 10 foot rim is off.
To get his perfect shot for the Warriors big game the next day, Dorart used the equation 10/sin(50) to find his perfect shooting form and he determined that he had to shoot the ball 13.0 ft towards the basket.
