And
For this reason,
Positive indices mean we have to multiply the same number twice or thrice based on the value of the index. On the other hand, negative indices mean we have to divide by the same number twice or thrice based on the value of the index.
The distance the player is from the right post is = 5.1 meters
<h3>Calculation of distance using Pythagorean theorem</h3>The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Formula for the Pythagorean theorem =
a²= b²+c²
From the diagram given,
The hypotenuse (a) = x²
b= 1.82²
c = 4.8²
x² = 1.82² + 4.8²
x²= 3.3124 + 23.04
x²= 26.3524
a= √26.3524
a= 5.1 meters.
