Answer: Hi!
First, UxV = sin(a)*IUI*IVI
where a is the angle between U and V, in this case 45°.
First, the cross product of UxV points:
Here you can use the right hand method,
Put your hand flat, so the point of your fingers point in the same direction that the first vector, in this case U, so your fingers will point to the north.
Now roll your fingers in the direction of the second vector, so here you will roll your fingers in the northeast direction. Now you will see that your thumb is pointing down, so the cross product of UxV points down.
And the magnitude is 6*5*sin(45) = 21.213
Try searching it up on the enternet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So for this you would have to use the pythagorean theorem which is α²+b²=c². The 12 yards would be a and the distance between the 60 yard line and 50 yard line which is 5 would be b and you would be trying to find out what c is.
a²+b²=c²
12²+5²=c²
144+25=c²
169=c²
now you want to get c alone and in order to do that we would square root it and i'm sure you have learned that what you do on one side you have to do to the other so we would also square root 169
√169=√c²
13=c
the pass was 13 yards
hope i helped :)
