Question

A person playing table tennis can be represented by the image shown, where A is

the point where the person hits the ball with the paddle, at a vertical distance of
152.25 cm from the floor. The height of the table is 76 cm and the
net is 15.25 cm tall. Determine the path of the ball.

Answer 1

we have that
the distance AB=152.25 cm-76 cm=76.25 cm

Let ∅ -------------- > angle that forms the path of the ball. with the horizontal line
tan ∅=(76.25-15.25)/137=0.4452554
∅=arc tan(0.4452554)=24°

the answer is
the path of the ball forms 24° with the horizontal
