Take a weird shaped field 100'x26'. At one end is a goal 10' wide centered in the field's width (8' on each side). If you were only allowed to shoot at the goal from the sideline, you would want an optimal angle... hence, what would be that distance down the sideline and what would be the corresponding pheta degree value to 2 decimal places?
It's a challenge to do this without the first derivative of arctan but with a geometric method.
Note that the field is not to scale.... and that a geometric answer does not mean going into CAD and constraining a field of the following dimensions.
