Math Response

A soccer player is about to take a penalty shot. He is hoping to place the ball in the top left corner of the goal which is a 16 degree angle measured from the ground.

Set up a cosine ratio that can be used to find the distance the ball must travel to get to the top corner of the goal.

Type answer here

Correct Answer: \cos16=\frac{25}{x}
