A hockey player takes a shot 20 feet away from a 5 foot tall goal. If the puck travels at a 15° angle of elevation toward the goal, will the player score?

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
