Use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

the triangle must be isosceles because the two angles are the same

1.2^2 + 1.2^2 = x^2
1.44 + 1.44 = x^2
2.88 = x^2
x=6√2/5
or
x ≈1.69706

A minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole. There is a small obstacle in the

nika2105 [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Two possible smallest and largest angles are 11.78° and 78.22°.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Minigolf ball will follow a trajectory to get into the hole.

Since range of a trajectory is calculated by the formula,

$R=\frac{u^{2}sin2\theta}{g}$

Where u = initial speed of the ball

θ = angle between the hole and direction in which the ball has been projected

g = gravitational pull

Now we plug in the values in the formula,

$2=\frac{7^{2}sin(2\theta)}{9.8}$

sin2θ = $\frac{2\times 9.8}{49}$

2θ = $sin^{-1}(0.4)$

2θ = 23.57° or 156.43°

θ = 11.78° or 78.22°

Hence two possible smallest and largest angles are 11.78° and 78.22°.
