If a hockey player is 20 ft away from a 5 ft goal, and the puck is traveling at a 15 degree angle of elevation towards the center of the goal, will the player score?
We can use the tangent here.......for 15°......it must be < 5/20 → 1/4 → .25
tan (15°) ≈ . 268
No goal.........the puck will fly over the net.......!!!!
