Mekhi Smith loves to play basketball. And he has been working on his shot a lot recently. So Mekhi has been wondering what are the measurements of shooting the ball.
Mekhi is shooting fom the elbow and wants to find out how far he needs to shot the ball. To find this out he used sin.
15/x=sin(64*)16.6 feet

64*
Since Mekhi is shooting 12 feet away from the goal. He needs to find the angle which he shoot at by using inverse tan.
tan x=12/7x=tan-1(12/7)59.7*

I saw an increase in my shot percentage i wanted a challenge. So i raised the hoop a little bit. So now i have to see how far my shot has to be. by using sin
