ANSWER
• Horizontal distance it traveled: ,191.7 yards
,• Height above ground: ,396 yards
EXPLANATION
Diagram:
The height, the horizontal distance and the distance traveled form a right triangle.
Since we know the angle, we can find both x and y. The distance traveled is the hypotenuse of the triangle, y is the opposite side to the known angle and x is the adjacent side:
[tex]\sin (1.12)=\frac{y}{440}\Rightarrow y=440\cdot\sin (1.12)=440\cdot0.9=396[/tex][tex]\cos (1.12)=\frac{x}{440}\Rightarrow x=440\cdot\cos (1.12)=191.7[/tex]
