Question

Mr. Gorelick has gone crazy. He has climbed up to the rafters of the gym 35 feet up and has taken with him a large number of basketballs. Mr. Gorelick can throw a basketball so hard at an angle of declination of 40 degrees that it will knock you out for 17 hours. How far does one of his basketballs travel before hitting someone in the head?​

Answer 1

Let the amount of feet be x

Let declination be y

so 35x at a declionation of 40 degrees 35x+40y=feet traveled before hitting the head

35x

40y

35x +40y= 40-y =35x+40-y

and 35x=35-x

35+40=x-y

The ball travels 43ft

Jk its free points lol
