At hockey practice., Lars has the puck in front of the net, as shown. He is exactly 8 m away from the middle of the net, which is 2 m wide. Within what angle must Lars fire his shot in order to get it in the net, to nearest degree?

14.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

distance from middle of the net = 8 m

width of the net = 2 m

this is a case of a triangle with height 8 m, and base 2 m. We are required to find the angle facing the base.

We can get this angle by splitting the triangle into two right angle triangles with base of 1 m, and then solve for the angle facing the base.

We use the trigonometric function;   tan∅ = opp/adj

opp is the side facing the angle = 1 m

adj is the height of the triangle (usually, it is the side besides the opposite side and the longest side; the hypothenus)

adj = 8 m

tan∅ = = 0.125

∅ = 0.125 = 7.125°

Angle within which Lars must fire his shot = 2 x ∅

= 2 x 7.125° = 14.25°

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )

answer: -1
