Question3. Football goal posts are measured and found to be 6.7 m apart. A player is to attempt a field goal from a point where the ball is 44 m and 42 m from the ends of the goal posts. Within what angle must the he kick the ball? (4 marks)

Studdy Solution
Calculate the angle $C$ using the inverse cosine function:
$$C = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3655.11}{3696}\right)$$
Calculate the angle:
$$C \approx \cos^{-1}(0.989)$$ $$C \approx 8.1^\circ$$
The angle within which the player must kick the ball is approximately:
$$\boxed{8.1^\circ}$$
